Speaking at Senate general meeting, Hanafi said that police detained him for four hours in PD5 Kabul city on Thursday over checking his weapon’s license card and vehicle registration plate.
He noted that the police had beaten up his guard. Senate members reacted to the remarks of Mohammad Hanif Hanafi and while emphasizing that law should be enforced on all criticized the violent inspections.
