ablished three VCPs along the Kabul-Bamyan Highway in Parwan Province, two =
in the Ab Khana Ashtor Shahr area and one in the Daraz Gard area of Shinwar=
i District. OAG members at these VCPs were searching passing vehicles for A=
NSF and GOA employees. On 06 June at approximately 0700 hrs in the Ab Khana=
 Ashtor Shahr area, OAG members at one VCP abducted six civilians accused o=
f being GOA employees.<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">Reporting suggests that OAG members are=
 allowing civilians and employees of NGOs to pass. That said, the risks ass=
ociated with travelling through OAG VCPs were demonstrated on 09 June at 12=
00 hrs in the Ab Khana Ashtor Shahr area, when OAG members stopped two IO s=
taff members who were travelling with their family at a VCP. OAG members se=
arched, harassed, and physically assaulted the IO staff members. OAG member=
s then unlawfully detained the IO staff members and their family for approx=
imately 30 minutes before allowing them to continue their journey.<br /><br=
 /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">OAG members are likely to keep the VCPs=
 in place for as long as they retain control of Ghorband DAC. At the time o=
f writing, ANSF members have not demonstrated an intention to retake the DA=
C. Therefore, the OAG VCPs established on Kabul-Bamyan Highway in Ghorband =
DAC are expected to remain in place.</div>								</div>

<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">Should NGO staff encounter an OAG VCP, =
drivers and passengers, to the extent possible, should always remain in the=

<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">Passengers and drivers are advised to c=

<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">NGO staff travelling along the highway =

administrative staff based in Kabul. Staff members can contact this number =
if OAG members request further proof of employment.<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">To the extent possible, NGO staff shoul=
