Description
Public prosecutor Mirjam Blom discusses the case as an elderly Afghan man goes on trial in a Dutch court for alleged war crimes while in charge of a notorious jail for the communist regime in the 1980s. The 76-year-old identified as Abdul R. came to the Netherlands in 2001, later acquiring Dutch nationality, and was arrested in 2019. Prosecutors say that from 1983 to 1990 he was the chief of Pul-e-Charkhi prison east of Kabul, where regime opponents were held without fair trial in "appalling conditions." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
