Nangarhar Prison Authority Denies Claims of Three Inmates Escaping

The Directorate of Prison Reforms in Nangarhar Province has categorically denied reports about the escape of three inmates, known as “Paivaz,” from the central prison of the province. Officials from this directorate stated that some media outlets and irresponsible social media pages have published false information aimed at disturbing public peace. According to these officials, no prison break has occurred in Nangarhar. Based on official statements, the Nangarhar prison operates under a well-organized system of registration and record-keeping, and no inmate, including those referred to as “Paivaz,” is allowed to leave the detention facility without following legal procedures. However, given the limited access of independent media to prison information, experts continuously emphasize the importance of transparency and impartial monitoring of detention centers to prevent rumors and distrust in society. The Directorate of Prison Reforms has urged citizens to rely only on official sources for information and to refrain from sharing unverified news.
