Chief Executive (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah said serious problems still exist in prisons, stressing the need for practical steps to improve the situation.
Abdullah expressed the views during a meeting of the High Council for Prisons at the Sapidar Palace yesterday.
A press release from the Chief Executive’s office stated that Abdullah ordered the General Directorate of Prisons to provide an exact list of the prisoners who are suffering from incurable diseases. “A decision would be taken on their fate,” the CEO added.
Gen. Abdul Hakim Kohistani, director- general of prisons and detention centres, presented a report on the jail situation, problems, programs and requirements.
“Uncertain fate of inmate cases, lack of professional personnel, food problems and paucity of funds are among the serious problems facing prisons nationwide,” Kohistani said.
