The Afghanistan High Peace Council (HPC) (Dari: رئیس شورای عالی صلح افغانستان) was a body of the Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Program, established by Hamid Karzai to negotiate with elements of the Taliban.
In September 2011 Haji Deen Muhammed expressed outrage over the killing of Sabar Lal Melma.
[5] Sabar had been apprehended and sent to Guantanamo in 2002, based on allegations he helped facilitate Osama bin Laden's escape from Afghanistan.
According to Deen Muhammed the Peace Council had secured assurance that Americans would stop harassing Sabar.
Nevertheless, Sabar was killed by US special forces, in his home, during a night raid, just two days after the Peace Council received assurances that harassment of him would stop.
