Pakistani foreign officials on Friday said Islamabad plans to release all Afghan Taliban prisoners still in its detention, including the group's former second-in-command Mullah Baradar.
"The remaining detainees, we are coordinating, and they will be released subsequently," Jilani said at a news conference in Abu Dhabi.
Asked if the former Taliban number 2 Mullah Baradar would be among those released, he said: "The aim is to release all."
The Afghan government has welcomed the decision, but there is no information about the return of the Taliban prisoners to Afghanistan.
In this episode of Farakhabar, Yama Siavash is joined by journalist Fahim Dashti and political analyst Younus Fakoor to discuss this topic. Is the release of all Taliban prisoners a new game or is Pakistan sincerely behind the Afghan peace process?
