Representatives of the Human Rights Council and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in a meeting with local officials in Panjshir said that their assessment shows the human rights situation and conditions of prisoners in Panjshir are better than before.
UNAMA has also said that a major meeting will soon be held in this province, involving all aid agencies, to attract humanitarian aid and implement development projects.
The Human Rights Council’s official said: "We had a meeting with the director of the prison, we are very happy to report to you Mawlawi Sahib that the provincial prison is functioning smoothly and we have not heard any complaints from the prisoners themselves.”
The governor of Panjshir in this meeting said that the Islamic Emirate is committed to observing human rights within the framework of Islamic Sharia.
Mohammad Agha Hakim, one of the representatives of the Human Rights Council and UNAMA, has requested more attention be given to health, education, the economy, and infrastructure projects in this province.
Mohammad Agha Hakim, the governor of Panjshir, said: "Every week a group of foreigners would come, implement their projects, and assist those in need. The people of Panjshir are deprived, like the people of Nuristan."
A number of political analysts have expressed their views on why institutions and organizations have more interest and frequent visits to Panjshir compared to other provinces.
"Under the current conditions where Afghanistan faces economic and political isolation and the world is aware of it, these meetings can create unity, cohesion, and acceptance of each other. The institutions expressing concerns in this regard can witness the realities of Afghanistan up close," said Zalmay Afghanyar, a political analyst.
Representatives of the Human Rights Council and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), in a meeting with local officials of Panjshir province, stressed that the international community is seeking security, peace, prosperity, and well-being in Afghanistan.
