Khan told IWPR that ever since the collapse of Najibullah government in 1992, he had a gun and was fighting for another well-known Hizb-i-Islami commander based in Sorobi, Ezatullah — who in turn served Zardad.

 Guardian | Police question former Afghan warlord
If charges are laid against Zardad Khan, currently held at Paddington Green police station, it would be the first use in a prosecution of an international convention on torture that was incorporated into the 1988 Criminal Justice Act to make all acts of torture committed worldwide since 1988 against UK law.
Opponents have accused Mr Khan - who has reportedly been running a pizzeria in Bexleyheath, southeast London, for three years - of overseeing a reign of terror during the civil war in Afghanistan in the early 1990s.
People travelled hundreds of miles to give evidence against Mr Khan when police officers visited Afghanistan to check out the claims against him, according to a report in The Independent, but potential witnesses were allegedly threatened and it is unclear how many would be prepared to travel to the UK for a trial.

 Former Afghan Warlord Sentenced in Britain in Landmark Case - International Justice - Global Policy Forum
The 42-year-old Zardad was a warlord in charge of several checkpoints from 1992-96 along the main highway connecting Kabul and the eastern city of Jalalabad.
Zardad was an ally of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, one of Afghanistan’s most notorious warlords during the civil war that raged from 1992, when the Moscow-backed government under Najibullah collapsed, to 1996, when the radical Taliban movement established control over most of Afghanistan.
The Zardad verdict establishes a precedent that upholds the principle of universal jurisdiction, under which those who commit acts of torture can be prosecuted in a country other than that in which the alleged crimes occurred.
