Two Afghan nationals and a member of the international team were detained on September 3rd, and then 15 other Afghans on the same date in the same office.

The organization stated in a statement released on Saturday, "At this stage, we have no information about the nature of the allegations against our team, and therefore we cannot comment or speculate on the current situation."
