The Afghan government will release 88 prisoners as planned even though the US considers them as dangerous and wants them to remain in detention at the Bagram prison.
Washington has expressed its concerns over the release of the detainees. US officials have explicitly said the release of the 88 prisoners expected this month could seriously damage relations between Washington and Kabul.
Since August, over 500 prisoners have been released from Bagram, with a total of 650 having been cleared by the Karzai appointed Review Committee for release already.
The US military handed over full control of the only US-run prison in Afghanistan to the Afghan government nearly one year ago, easing tensions over one of the longest-running standoffs between Kabul and Washington.
President Hamid Karzai instructed Afghan intelligence officials to provide the review board with more evidence against the prisoners, after the United States said there was proof of their involvement in the killing of foreign troops and they posed a serious threat to security.
But a member of the the review board, Abdul Shakor Dadras has told Reuters on Monday that the evidence did not warrant keeping the prisoners any longer.
"The documents we have seen so far provide no reason to convict them," said Dadras. "Our decision is to release them as soon as possible if there is no incriminating evidence against them."
The disagreement over the prisoners is a further strain on Afghan-U.S. relations already seriously soured by Karzai's refusal to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) to shape the US military presence after most foreign troops leave this year.
