The Taliban police command in Nimroz province has announced the detention of 158 individuals attempting to be smuggled illegally to other countries near the Sar Dasht and Nilkai posts in the third security district. According to the press and public relations office of this command, these individuals were identified by the police operational battalion, which subsequently arrested nine people on charges of organizing human trafficking. In connection with this case, five Toyota vehicles, seven other cars, and two Zaranj cars were also seized. Officials added that forces from the same battalion also prevented the smuggling of 16 containers of rice. No further details have been provided regarding the probable destinations of the passengers or the identities of those arrested. Nimroz province, due to its borders with Iran and Pakistan, is considered one of the main routes for illegal crossings and human trafficking, a phenomenon that has consistently endangered the lives of hundreds, especially young job seekers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
