Summary
| Description |
English: Afghanistan's infamous Pul-e Charkhi Prison on the eastern edge of Kabul. Inmates reported being beaten and electrocuted there during in the 1980s and 90s. Others were allegedly buried alive and human rights groups suspect the grounds contain many mass graves, as yet undocumented. In 2006, just weeks after seven inmates escaped, five people were killed during a four-day riot in which inmates seized control of the prison. Today it houses a volatile mixture of criminals, insurgents and political prisoners. It is also where Afghanistan carries out its capital punishments. President Hamid Karzai rarely signs execution warrants, but 14 people were executed in November 2012 and 15 people were executed in chaotic conditions in October 2007. |
