On Friday, a confidential report from the Norwegian analysis center Rhipto, which provides intelligence to several UN agencies, attracted international attention.

It claims that even before the takeover and the fall of the capital Kabul on August 15, the Taliban had control over individuals who worked for the Afghan government, the United States and the NATO defense alliance.

"Detailed information"

Christian Nellemann, head of the analysis center that leads the group behind the report, tells the BBC that the Islamists have intensified their search for dissidents.

Already during the first hours when they entered Kabul, the hunt began for individuals who have collaborated with the allied forces, the British and the Americans.

They already had detailed information about these individuals, where they live, their mobile, name but also their history of working with Western forces, Nellemann tells SVT Nyheter.

Goes after the families

According to him, the Taliban have gone from "door to door" and made home visits to people they want to arrest.

These include interpreters and former government employees, especially people who have held high-ranking positions in the police, military and security services.

- We have also seen that the search for these people has taken place in other cities they have occupied, in Jalalabad, Kunduz, Kandahar, Mazar-e-Sharif.

So we expect that this will probably only increase in the future, says Christian Nellemann.

They also threaten family and relatives, according to the report.

Journalists are also in great danger.

A relative of an Afghan journalist who worked for the German television channel Deutsche Welle has been shot dead by the Taliban.

At least three other journalists who worked for the television channel have also received home visits from the Taliban.

This is confirmed by DW's manager.
