Kabul: The Afghanistan government, which is now ruled by Taliban, has said they would form a military court within the structure of the current government.
The government said the court would investigate military cases and that no military personnel “even at a high position” would be granted judicial immunity.
The announcement was made by Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.
Taliban government spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid was quoted as saying by Tolo News: "The Islamic Emirate considered filling this need, and therefore, we formed a military court. The cases belonging to this court will be investigated and it will be implemented under the Islamic structure."
