This is a video where allegedly Taliban fighters are torturing a Hazara from Norway and accusing him of working for the Hazara warlord Shujai.
WARNING GRAPHIC
Initially it looked like its a set up, but after further examination I have concluded that the torture is real. The question is, who are the men torturing him? Are they Taliban or local people not necessarily associated with the Taliban?
The people from Uruzgan are known for wearing big turbans. So anybody could be seen as Taliban.
However, if you pay close attention, the guy in beige clothes is wearing an extremely short tunic. Taliban are very strict with regards to dress code. Men are not suppose to wear short tunics.
The guy in black clothes is wearing his trousers below his ancles. As we all know, Taliban, being the strict deobandis that they are, do not wear their trousers below their ankles.
Likewise, it doesn't make sense for the Taliban to make a video like this.
One wonders what benefit they see in making this video and then distributing it around?
From a PR perspective, this will only harm them.
What do you think?

you're from a Tajik region; you're a Tajik; the end; that's all I need to know. stop posing because you have an inferiority complex. You're the conquered, not the conqueror
