FIFA has banned the former head of soccer in Afghanistan from the sport for life for sexually abusing female players.

Keramuddin Karim, who was president of the Afghanistan Football Federation, was also fined 1 million Swiss francs ($1 million).

Some lawmakers in Afghanistan’s parliament and a delegate of the grand council called President Ghani’s decision on release of Taliban prisoners a “unilateral” move, saying that it was not a demand of the Grand Consultative Jirga for Peace.

The release of Taliban prisoners was mentioned in the Peace Jirga’s 23-article resolution issued by almost 3,000 delegates from around Afghanistan after a five-day session in April. But a delegate of the Jirga, Gulalai Akbari, said the Jirga resolution mentions about “prisoners’ exchange” not the “releasing of prisoners through a unilateral move”.
