CNN reported that the Taliban, which took control of Afghanistan, sent a letter to the family of an interpreter who worked with the U.S. military announcing the death penalty.
In three notices obtained by CNN, the Taliban ordered the family of an Afghan resident who served as an interpreter for the US military in the first handwritten notice to appear on trial.
The notice included allegations of helping the United States and helping the safety of a family member who worked as an interpreter.
The second notice was also handwritten and confirmed that he did not appear in court.
In a third typed letter, the Taliban said they would be sentenced to death for refusing to warn them to cease blind obedience to the aggressors and ignoring their demands to appear at trial.
"This court's decision is final and you have no right to object," he said.
The notice had a mark that the Taliban wrote on official documents.
CNN explained that the situation was confirmed by a former U.S. military officer who had worked with the interpreter in the past, without specifying who received the notice because of the risk of retaliation.
