Taliban detains group of women at Khair Khana, Kabul
|
[KhaamaPress] According to sources, the Taliban
 ...mindless ferocity in a turban...
detained a group of women in the Khair Khana area on Sunday.
Sources said that the Taliban’s Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice officials have detained and imprisoned dozens of women and girls in Kabul, citing the reason as "non-compliance with Taliban’s dress code."
The group arrested several women along the route from the Parwan Hotel to Gola-e-Park using a Ranger vehicle.
Meanwhile,
...back at the precinct house, Don Calamari's lawyer was getting even redder in the face...
reports say that earlier on the same day, the Taliban had detained a group of girls and women in the Taimani area of Kabul.
In recent days, the Taliban’s Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has initiated a new wave of detentions of girls and women in various areas of Kabul.
Earlier, the group detained several girls and women in the western area of Kabul, including Dasht-e-Barchi, due to their hijab and clothing.
The Taliban’s Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice had previously confirmed to the media that they had detained some women in western Kabul on charges of "improper dressing." However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
they did not specify the exact number of detainees.
There have been reports indicating that the group is detaining more women in different areas of Kabul.
Some sources in Kabul have mentioned that when the family members of the detained girls in western Kabul approached Taliban offices, they were asked to demonstrate against supporting the hijab that the Taliban had in mind. After being coerced into protests, they demanded the release of the detainees, but Taliban officials refused to free them.
Taliban arrest women for ‘Bad Hijab’ in Afghanistan, sparking fear and outrage
January 6, 2024
[KhaamaPress] At least a week ago, authorities from the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, in coordination with intelligence forces and security agencies, have been detaining girls in some regions of Kabul due to what is referred to as “bad hijab” or “non-observance of Islamic dress code.” According to the girls, this action has sparked widespread reactions and instilled fear.
| So this has been going on for a while, while we were distracted elsewhere. |
Mullah Abdulghaffar Farooq, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, stated to the media that these detentions were carried out to prevent “vice” and prevent bad hijab, leading to the detention of several girls.
The recent detentions of girls and women in western Kabul have been prominent in the past two to three days. Reports indicate that more than a dozen girls were transferred to security agencies due to inadequate hijab. Most of these detentions have been reported in areas of Dasht-e-Barchi, Pol-e Khoshk, Qalai-e Naw, and Pol-e Sukhta.
The continuation of these detentions has raised serious concerns among the girls in these areas. Mezhgan, one of the detained girls, told Khama Press that the authorities took her from the market, and she spent a day in detention.
Mezhgan described her detention: “My sister and I went out to buy something from our house. When we entered the market, there was a commotion as the forces of the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice arrived, and young girls and teenagers were desperately looking for a place to hide.”
She added, “My sister and I entered a shop, and from the window, I saw several men in white clothes instructing some ladies who were wearing full black attire and had sunglasses on to get on a vehicle. The black-clad ladies forcefully placed the girls on the vehicle using electric shocks.”
Mezhgan further mentioned that when she tried to record these moments with her mobile phone, she was also detained and had her phone confiscated.
Sahar, living in western Kabul, said, “I study in a girls’ school, and when I came out of the school, the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice forces wanted to detain me, but I resisted.”
Sahar added that she now refrains from going to school out of fear of being detained.
Sources in Kabul’s Taimani district claim that the authorities from the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice have detained several girls, even though they were wearing appropriate hijab, allegedly because they possessed “smartphones or cameras.”
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice of Taliban, however, states that female police officers are present during detentions, and no harm comes to the girls.
These detentions due to non-compliance with hijab have faced criticism from human rights organizations and UN experts. Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Afghanistan, wrote on his Twitter page that detaining girls for “bad hijab” restricts women’s freedom of expression.
Mr. Bennett has called on the Taliban administration to release the detained girls unconditionally.
Amnesty International has also expressed concern about the detention of girls in Kabul, stating, “The Taliban’s arbitrary detentions and crackdowns violate women’s freedom of movement and expression in Afghanistan. Suppression must cease immediately, and those detained must be released.”
Naseer Ahmad Faiq, Afghanistan’s interim representative to the United Nations, regarding the detention of girls, emphasizes that no government has previously attacked the culture and way of life of its people. He adds that people in Afghanistan currently lack mental security and peace.
