After reports of a young man being shot dead in Panjshir, the Taliban confirmed his death.

However, the Taliban’s account differs from information previously provided by local sources. Earlier, sources said that Moshtari had been shot dead by people affiliated with the Taliban on suspicion of membership in one of the groups opposing the Taliban. According to at least six local sources, his body was found on Saturday, the 16th of Aqrab, in Abdullah Khel Valley.


In his explanation, Saifuddin Laton cited statements by the young man’s family, saying that Moshtari had suffered from mental health problems and had previously left home several times without informing his family. He also denied reports that Taliban forces were involved in the young man’s death, saying that Moshtari’s family had not confirmed such claims either.


By contrast, one local source said that Moshtari had previously been detained and tortured by the Taliban and had subsequently developed neurological problems. According to this source, after the body was found, the Taliban handed it over to Moshtari’s family.


Local sources have also claimed that the Taliban had warned the young man’s family to bury his body quietly. Although the spokesperson for the Taliban governor has confirmed that the body was found, differing accounts have emerged about the exact cause of Moshtari’s death, and local sources’ claim that he was shot dead remains at odds with the Taliban’s account.



The spokesperson for the Taliban governor in Panjshir has announced that the body of a 27-year-old man named Moshtari, who had disappeared about a week earlier, was found in the mountains of Manjanesto in the province. Saifuddin Laton said on Sunday, the 17th of Aqrab, that the likely cause of his death was a fall from a mountain.
