This decision could lead to the suspension of these properties and the cutting off of owners&#8217; access to their revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesperson, told Deutsche Welle that if the military court concludes that the owners of these properties have acted against the regime or been involved in what is termed \u201cmalicious activities,\u201d their properties will be suspended.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, in such cases, the income generated from these properties will be taken out of the owners\u2019 control and transferred to designated government accounts. Mujahid emphasized that this procedure is carried out based on the leadership\u2019s decision within the Taliban administration and follows formal review processes.<\/p>\n<p>However, critics argue that assigning property cases to military courts undermines legal transparency and property rights\u2014particularly in a country where a large portion of citizens have been forced to leave due to insecurity and restrictions. The issue of property ownership for absent individuals is considered one of Afghanistan\u2019s serious legal and economic challenges, requiring civil and independent resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Taliban assigns military courts to review properties of absent owners, risking suspension of assets and access to income amid legal transparency concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5843","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
