· 1 min read · 331 views

KABUL (Pajhwok): Kabul University teacher Faizullah Jalal has been released from four-day custody.

Husna Jalal, daughter of the academic, tweeted on Tuesday that her father had been freed.

Zabihullah Mujahid, government spokesman, had earlier said: “Jalal, a zealot, has been arrested for inciting people against the system.”

Speaking to Azadi Radio after his release, Jalal said he was asked in detention to avoid giving hard-hitting statements.

“Obviously, some things have changed, but let me keep them unsaid,” the university professor said, without going into details.
