A young man died in Takhar as a result of Taliban torture. Local sources in Takhar say that the Taliban have handed over the body of a young man to his family after four days of detention.
Sources confirmed to Hasht-e Subh on Sunday, March 2, that the Taliban arrested a man named Qari Nasser Farkhari from his shop four days ago.According to the sources, signs of torture were observed on his body.According to sources, Nasser Farkhari was not affiliated with any group or faction and was engaged in shoplifting.Sources say that this young Takhari was buried on the first day of Ramadan.Sources add that Nasser Farkhari is survived by seven children.Some Taliban users confirmed the death of the young man and claimed that he died of illness during the transfer in Salang.The Hasht-e Subh newspaper examined the picture of his body and found clear signs of torture on Mr. Farkhari's body.In the picture, it can be seen that he has been severely beaten.Previously, there have been several reports of people dying as a result of the Taliban's torture in the group's prisons.

The death of a detainee following four days in Taliban custody in Takhar Province reflects the continued use of torture and lethal ill-treatment within detention practices. The arrest of a civilian without apparent legal process, followed by the return of his body bearing clear signs of severe abuse, indicates an arbitrary deprivation of liberty culminating in an unlawful loss of life. Conflicting official narratives attributing the death to illness, despite documented evidence of physical violence, further point to impunity and lack of accountability. Such practices contribute to a climate of fear, undermine personal security and dignity, and illustrate broader patterns of custodial abuse and coercive enforcement by Taliban authorities.
