The Taliban has stopped the distribution of contraceptives in two of Afghanistan’s major cities, claiming that their use by women is part of a conspiracy by Western countries to control the Muslim population.
After achieving victory in the Afghanistan war, Jihadists who have spent their lifetime riding horses in the countryside are now expressing complaints about the work-life they currently lead behind a desk. Now all they can do is think about how to pay rent and spend their time using Twitter.
In 2021, the Taliban’s Ministry of Virtue and Vice ordered sellers in Afghanistan to remove mannequins from their shops or behead them. The decree was based on an Islamic doctrine forbidding statues and images in human form since they could be worshipped as idols.
The Taliban announced on December 20 that women would no longer be allowed to attend university, igniting condemnation from the international community and protests from women in the country.
Since ruling over Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban has intensified its punishments against those accused of various crimes, despite initial promises of respecting human rights and media freedom after taking over the country 15 months ago.
In perhaps the first public execution since the Taliban took power last year, a man was sentenced to death on December 7 in the western province of Farah, followed by a public flogging of 27 men and women in a soccer stadium in the northern region of Parwan.
The Taliban instructed judges to fully implement their interpretation of Sharia law, which includes amputations, floggings, stonings, and public executions, a senior Taliban spokesperson said.
Reports say at least 35 young people were killed and more than eighty wounded when a suicide bomber targeted a school in Kabul, Afghanistan. Local journalist Bilal Sarwary says the number of dead is much higher. He reported that one hundred had been counted so far.
It was an empty promise. This was what undercover journalist and filmmaker Ramita Navai said about the promise of the Taliban to defend women’s rights according to Islamic law.
Islamic law is seen to implement God’s commands for Muslims. Sharia, which means “the way,” are laws that represent conduct that is intended to guide Muslims.
