He had been arrested by Taliban authorities following disagreements with the group\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move came after Ghaznavi declared that \u201cjihad\u201d in Pakistan was a personal obligation and stated, contrary to the position of Taliban leader Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, that the education of girls and women was permissible. These remarks reportedly angered senior Taliban officials and led to his arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ghaznavi\u2019s official social media page announced his release on Wednesday, August 28, adding that he would soon resume his educational activities. The Taliban authorities have not commented on the reasons behind his detention or release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release of this figure, closely linked to the Taliban\u2019s ideological base, once again highlights the group\u2019s internal divisions and its handling of internal critics, particularly regarding the contentious issue of girls\u2019 education, which remains a major point of international criticism and pressure on the Taliban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taliban frees Abdul Sami Ghaznavi after one month in jail over disputes on girls\u2019 education and jihad in Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-top-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10\/revisions\/12"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
