KABUL (Pajhwok): No one can prove prisoners are tortured or harassed, but instead jails are being turned into education and reform centers, an official said on Monday.
Officials of the Correctional Institution of Prisons dismiss claims of torture and harassment in prisons as a conspiracy hatched by some intelligence circles.
“Prisons used to be places of torture and harassment, but now they have been turned into places of education and reform.”
Habibullah Badr, the military deputy of the Prisons Correctional Institution, told a ceremony marking graduation of some juvenile prisoners from a vocational training, that some intelligence circles were out . . .
