Taliban’s Brutality: Man Beaten and Detained Over Wife’s Dress in Herat
They said what they meant, and they meant what they said. The Taliban are a distillation of all that is wrong with the Pashtuns, and nothing of what is right.
[8am] Local sources in Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
have reported a distressing incident where the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
subjected a man to physical assault and detainment. The reason cited for their actions was that the man’s wife was wearing a mantou, a loose-fitting coat worn by women.

According to these sources, the man was apprehended on Sunday, July 23, near Herat city’s Malik Gate by the Taliban’s morality police.

The detained individual endured three hours of confinement inside a container, as reported by the sources.

Ever since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, they have imposed strict and oppressive measures on women’s rights. Recently, in this province, they enforced a new set of rules mandating women to wear a chadar or burqa.

Moreover, the group has also issued instructions to taxi drivers in Herat, forbidding them from transporting women who are not wearing a chador or burqa.

This incident highlights the harsh reality of the situation in Afghanistan under the Taliban’s rule and the grave implications it holds for women’s freedoms and human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
in the region.

#2 There is something else going on in Afghanistan to keep these clowns in power. The Taliban were unpopular invaders the first time backed by a meddling neighbor. Pakistan would seem to no longer be paying the Taliban. There is no current hostile invader. The Taliban are brutalizing locals in a tribal society. My expectation was that the tribes would begin to disappear these guys.
