Taliban arrests Faizullah Jalal, a popular university professor and outspoken critic of successive Afghan governments including the new rulers in Kabul
TOLO TV, Afghanistan's largest station on which Faizuallah Jalal was a frequent commentator, tweeted that Jalal was arrested “reportedly for making allegations against government departments, a security source said."There was no official response from the government to queries about Jalal's arrest.
Jalal is the husband of one of the country's first female presidential candidates, Masooda Jalal, who ran against former President Hamid Karzai in 2004.The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan last August ahead of America's chaotic Aug. 31 departure after nearly 20 years of war. The militant guerrillas-turned-rulers previously held power from 1996-2001.
Afghanistan faces a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions, with the United Nations warning that 90 percent of the country's 38 million people are in dire need. It also reinforced fears that the Taliban are imposing the same harsh and repressive rule as their last stint in power before they were ousted by a US-led coalition for harbouring al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
