Afghanistan's National Security Council has confirmed that another group of Taliban prisoners has been released in Afghan jails under a peace deal between the United States and the Taliban. One hundred prisoners were released in the third phase on Saturday. Recently, the United States and the Taliban have finalized a deal for peace in Afghanistan, which includes prisoner exchanges, among many other provisions.
According to a statement issued by the Afghan government, more than a hundred prisoners have been released in view of health, age and punishment period.
Thus, the total number of Taliban prisoners released from Wednesday to Saturday is 300. Earlier, the Afghan government had released 100 prisoners in two phases. On Sunday, an Afghan official told the news agency DPA that another group of Taliban prisoners would be released soon, but that official did not say how many prisoners were released in the fourth phase.

The Afghan government has said that the release of these prisoners is being done in a spirit of goodwill, but at the same time, the global outbreak of the new Coronavirus has become an important cause. It is said that Afghan authorities are doing their best to stop the outbreak of the outbreak in prisons.
According to Afghan officials, at the time of their release, all Taliban prisoners were sworn in that they would never again engage in military operations. During the Doha negotiations, Taliban leaders accepted the condition to release the prisoners. The deal, signed in February in Doha between US officials and the Afghan Taliban, also agreed to release 1,000 Afghan government officials in Taliban fighters in exchange for the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners in Afghan jails.
The Kabul government says that between the Afghan government and the Taliban, 1500 Taliban will be released before the talks. Under the Doha Deal, the negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban were to begin on March 10, but one of the reasons for the delay was that the Taliban still insist that all Taliban prisoners be initiated before initiating this negotiation at the internal level. The release is possible.
