JALALABAD (PAN): Hundreds of university students on Monday staged a protest against the detention of 23 fellows by intelligence officials in eastern Nangarhar province.

The Nangarhar University students blocked the Kabul-Jalalabad Highway for traffic for several hours, accusing security forces of killing two of their colleagues, who were arrested a month ago.

A law student, Khalilullah, said the two students had gone on vacation to their home provinces of Maidan Wardak and Khost, where they were killed by security forces.
