Description
Taliban prison guards attend their graduation ceremony at the Pul-e-Charkhi prison to the east of Kabul. The facility used to house thousands of prisoners until the Taliban set them free as they closed in on the capital in August. It was a strategy the hardline Islamists used across the country during their lightning offensive -- target prisons in order to liberate Islamist inmates and boost their fighting ranks. Now under Taliban control, new guards are being trained and renovations are underway ahead of the Pul-e-Charkhi prison’s reopening – this date is yet to be announced. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
