Local sources told Afghanistan International that the Taliban officials have arrested a former officer of the National Directorate Security (NDS), the Afghan Intelligence agency in previous government, on Tuesday.
According to sources, the officer who is named Haidar, was subjected to physical assault by the Taliban officials after his arrest. He, along with two of his companions, had been arrested in the Khan Abad district of Kunduz province.
Sources said that Haidar was a former commander of the NDS in Askamesh district of Takhar.
The Taliban forces have published pictures on social networks showing Haidar in civilian attire with his hands tied behind him.
Taliban had announced "general amnesty" after takeover of the power in Afghanistan, but the UN agencies have repeatedly reported that the group has killed or detained dozens of former security forces member during the past two years.
United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) recently reported that the Taliban has violated human rights in more than 1,600 cases in 19 months. According to the report, the Taliban have tortured prisoners using "electric shocks, asphyxiation, physical beating and severe pain" in order to obtain confessions.
