Incident 15 July 2026 Ghazni province AHRC-2026-0715-GHA-01

Summary

Taliban intelligence in Malistan district, Ghazni, allegedly detained an elderly farmer, M. Muradi, for two weeks in summer 2026 and beat him with sticks over a weapon linked to his son. He was released only after paying 50,000 afghanis, the third such payment. Similar detentions, beatings and cash demands for weapons are reported in Jaghori (since 15 July 2026) and Nawur (four residents, September 2026) in Ghazni, and in Daikundi, mostly in Hazara-majority areas.
