CHITRAL: A delegation of elders from Chitral has returned home after visiting the Nuristan province of Afghanistan once again in a bid to persuade the Taliban to free the kidnapped Greek social worker, Athanasios Lerounis.
“Though we returned empty-handed for the fourth time, we are happy that Athanasios Lerounis, now sporting a beard, is alive and in good health,” Wazirzada, a member of the delegation and a friend of the Greek social worker, told The News.
He said the delegation, led by former Nazim of Ayun Union Council, Abdul Majeed Qureshi, returned after spending eight days, including three days with the Greek social worker.The elder said they held a Jirga with Dost Muhammad, the Taliban governor of Nuristan, and commander Haji Usman.
Another round of talks was held in Kamdesh, the Taliban headquarters in Nuristan, with Afghan Taliban leaders in Nuristan, including Musa, Noor Ahmad, Abdur Rahman, Qari Shahabuddin, Ghafoor Ahmad and Maulvi Samiullah, he said.
“Though the Taliban are looking after Athanasios well, they renewed their demand for releasing the Greek citizen,” he said. He said the militants wanted the release of Ustad Yasir and Rahmatuddin Nuristani.
