The head of Joint Executive Commission for implementation of the Peace Agreement between government and HIA, Akram Khpalwak said: “We are committed to implementing each article of the agreement with Hezb-e-Islami and we are doing it.”
This comes as the release of HIA prisoners has followed concerns of Human rights commissions.
