PANJSHIR (SW) – Scores of Panjshir residents on Saturday closed down the main highway to Kabul while protesting against the arrest of Hameed Khorasani.
The protesters chanted slogans against the Ministry of Interior Affairs, and blamed it for arresting Khorasani ‘unlawfully’. They warned to continue with the protest if their demand to arrest him are not met.
Scores of Kabul-bound vehicles remained stranded on the main Kabul – Panjshir highway during the protest demonstration.
Salam Watandar wished to have the views of the MoI, but its spokesman Nusrat Rahimi, declined to comment.
Meanwhile, Ishaq Tamkin, police chief for Panjshir, said the demonstration ended peacefully. However, the protesters have vowed to continue with the agitation.
Khorasani was taken into custody by the MoI in Kabul last week.
