With the Taliban taking over Afghanistan, the country is running out of breathing space with each passing day. The Taliban, who regained power in August 2021, also imposed many restrictions on women and girls going out alone and going to school. Now, they have fired more than 280 security guards, citing their failure to grow beards.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS BROKE, MOVIES BLOCKED
Authorities reported that more than 13,000 people were detained last year for “acting immorally.” The Ministry for the Prevention of Immorality and the Spread of Morality said authorities broke more than 21,000 musical instruments a year and prevented the release of many films.
According to the sharia law implemented by the Taliban in Afghanistan, women must cover themselves completely and men must grow beards.
