Summary
Taliban forces from the Justice Ministry surrounded and raided the Shiite Commission's office in Kabul on approximately 13 September 2026, detaining the commission's head, Mohammad Ali Akhlaqi, and four named members (Sayed Nader Shah Bahr, Mohammad Amir Bazel, Sayed Mohsen Hosseini, Sayed Abdullah Hashemi), as well as questioning visitors on-site. The detainees were taken to the Justice Ministry and held without any publicly stated charges or legal justification. Human rights activists raised concerns about the broader pattern of pressure on Afghanistan's Shiite and Hazara communities, including land seizures and denial of burial rights.
