Kandahar jail inmates end protest

Inmates at Kandahar jail in Afghanistan have ended a week-long hunger strike after a parliamentary delegation promised to address their demands.

Almost 400 prisoners were involved in the protest. They said they had been denied access to fair trials and some also complained of torture.

One of the visiting MPs said all the cases would be reviewed by new judges.

The government says the prisoners have links to the Taleban, but the inmates and say they are political prisoners.
