A source on July 9 said that the Taliban has handed over a replacement list for the 592 prisoners which were originally rejected as release candidates by Afghan Government, reports Tolo News. The Government so far released 4,019 prisoners and the Taliban has released 737 prisoners. Earlier, the Afghan Government revealed one of the main reasons behind the delay in the intra-Afghan negotiations, saying it is not releasing 597 prisoners of the 5,000 inmates that were to be freed as part of the US-Taliban agreement, because these prisoners are being held not only for being affiliated with the Taliban, but because they are allegedly guilty of serious "moral" crimes. Meanwhile, the Taliban has said that the group will not endorse the intra-Afghan talks unless the Afghan Government releases its 5,000 prisoners from the jails.
