The Taliban has fired around 3,000 members accused of carrying out rough practices from the hardline Islamic movement in the widespread “inspection process” launching since the ruling, said an official Saturday.
The Taliban took back control over Afghanistan in August after a 20-year rebellion against former US-backed government and NATO foreign forces.
Promising softer rules to their 1996-2001 regime, the Taliban government launched a commission to identify members who violated the regulations of the movement.
“They give a bad name to the Emirates of Islam. They are removed in this inspection process so that we can build clean troops and police in the future,” the Head of the Latifullah Judge Panel in the Defense Ministry told AFP.
So far around 2,840 members have been dismissed, he said.
“They are involved in corruption, drugs and disrupting the personal life of the community. Some also have a relationship with DAESH,” said Judii, using Arabic acronyms for Islamic countries.
Taliban fighters have been accused of extraordinary murder rights groups from former members of security forces, although there are orders from the highest leader of the Hibiballah Movement Akhundzada from Amnesty.
The regional chapter of the jihad group has emerged as the main security challenge for hardline Islamic administration, often targeting officials in weapons and bomb attacks in Kabul and other cities.
Judge said those suspended came from 14 provinces and the process of “filtering” the members would continue in other provinces.
Since seizing power, the Taliban authority has limited Afghan freedom, especially women.
Most of the female public sector workers are blocked from returning to work, while many secondary schools have not been reopened for girls.
Long distance trips for women who are not accompanied by relatives of close men have also been banned.
