The problem arose over the Holy Quran when the guards sought to mentally torture prisoners by violating the sanctity of the Holy Quran and other religious texts, forcing them to protest before violently attacking them.
In a written statement, Commission for Prisoner Affairs of the Islamic Emirate, the Taliban, condemned the assault being committed by the U.S. troops against inmates at the prison in the Afghan town of Bagram in Parwan province.
"The Commission for Prisoner Affairs of the Islamic Emirate seeks the urgent attention international humanitarian institutions and human right organizations and warns them about the situation getting out of hand," the statement added.
In 2012, the US occupation gangs burned the Koran in the same prison in Afghanistan. In the aftermath of the event, 41 people, including 4 US troops, were killed in protests in the country.
The Parwan Detention Facility is Afghanistan's main military prison. Situated next to the Bagram Air Base in the Parwan Province of Afghanistan, the prison was built by the United States during the Bush Administration.
It was formerly known by the United States as the Bagram Collection Point. While initially intended as a temporary facility, it has been used longer and handled more detainees than the US Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. As of June 2011, the Parwan detention facility held 1,700 prisoners; there had been 600 prisoners under the Bush administration.
None of the prisoners has received POW status
The treatment of inmates at the facility has been under scrutiny since two Afghan detainees died in the 2002 Bagram torture and prisoner abuse case. Their deaths were classified as homicides, and prisoner abuse charges were made against seven American soldiers. Concerns about lengthy detentions here have prompted comparisons to U.S. detention centers in Guantanamo Bay on Cuba and Abu Ghraib in Iraq. Part of the internment facility is called the black jail.
