The woman who accused the ex-Taliban spokesman of torture was arrested

Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have detained a woman who accused a former Taliban commander of torture and rape.

This arrest took place when the woman tried to escape to Pakistan.

Al-Arabiya Urdu has reported with reference to sources that the woman was arrested at a check post while trying to go to Pakistan and transferred back to Kabul where she will be tried in a Taliban court.

The woman said she was speaking from an apartment in the capital, Kabul, where she was detained by members of the Taliban after she tried to flee the country, begging for her release.

She identified herself as a medical student at Kabul University and said her father had served as a general in the intelligence service of the previous government.

An Afghan citizen shared his video on Twitter.

Trying to escape to Pakistan

The woman said that Qari Saeed Khosti had forcibly married her six months ago, when he was the official spokesperson.

“I tried to escape to neighboring Pakistan, but the Taliban arrested me at a border crossing and brought me back to Kabul and locked me in an apartment there,” he said.

Arrest and Punishment

On the other hand, Qari Saeed Khosti has denied these allegations on Twitter and his colleagues are calling it a ‘conspiracy against the Taliban’.

Khosti confirmed in his tweets on Wednesday that he had married ‘Ilaha’ and then divorced her, but denied abusing her.

In his tweets, he said that he married the woman six months ago on her request. ‘After that I saw that he had a problem of faith. I tried to correct their beliefs by exhortation and argument but to no avail, until they clearly blasphemed the holy things.’

He denied abusing the woman, saying: ‘I exercised my legal right and divorced her. I apologize to the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate and the Afghan people. God forgive me.’
