KABUL (Pajhwok): Thousands of prisoners in the Pul-i-Charkhi jail in Kabul have been on hunger strike over the past four days, with some stitching up their mouths, an official said on Tuesday.
Ibadullah Karimi, spokesman for the General Directorate of Jails and Detention Centers, told Pajhwok Afghan News the inmates’ demand fell outside the ambit of law. The prisoners had not complained about food or water, he said.
Karimi put at 2,000 the number of inmates at the Pul-i-Charkhi prison on . . .
