History and Biodata

3. Biodata:
In July 2017, Abdulhai Khatibi, spokesman for Ghor governor, told reporters that the Daesh militant, Mawlawi Saadyar, visited Feroz Koh, the capital city of Ghor, when he was arrested by security forces. He had come to hospital for treatment. Saadyar was the main perpetrator of Rukhshana’s stoning and was behind the killing of 32 civilians. He was also reportedly in charge of a Daesh kangaroo court in Ghalmin area in the province in 2016. Ghor governor said  that he had handed Saadyar over to the NDS and that they had freed him. The NDS office in Ghor reportedly confirmed the move to journalists in Ghor but allegedly asked them not to broadcast the news. Fazlulhaq Ehsan, who reportedly signed an order for the release of Saadyar, said the Daesh commander was set free in coordination with security departments and the High Peace Council office in Ghor in order to encourage other insurgents to join the peace process. He said he welcomes Mawlawi Saadyar’s release, because he promised to encourage the majority of his men to join the peace process.(20170411)
