Tamadan TV has reported that 28 professors, students and other individuals have been arrested by the Taliban from the Khatam al-Nabiyyin Seminary.
According to the report, Taliban forces surrounded the seminary on September 4 and ordered officials and seminarians to evacuate the center. The demand was reportedly met with protests from those inside the institution.
The arrests reportedly followed the standoff, although details about the identities of those detained and the reasons for their arrest remain unclear.
The incident has drawn attention to the Taliban’s actions toward religious and educational institutions in Afghanistan. The reported detention of teachers and students has also raised concerns among local communities.
The Taliban have not, according to the information provided, publicly confirmed the reported number of arrests or given details about the operation.
