Taliban and obtained by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/23\/politics\/taliban-death-threat-afghan-translator-letters\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The letters, which were written in Pashto, were delivered to the brother over the past three months.<\/p>\n<p>The first letter ordered the brother to attend a court hearing regarding the allegations and the second was a notice for failing to attend. <\/p>\n<p>The death sentence was handed down in the third letter after the Taliban found him \u201cguilty in absentia,\u201d according to the outlet. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have been accused of helping the Americans\u2026 You are also accused of providing security to your brother, who has been an interpreter,\u201d one of the letters read.
