Taliban Arrest Dozens of Girls from West Kabul

Local sources in Kabul say that employees of the Taliban Ministry of Good Conduct and Prevention of Vice have arrested dozens of girls from the 13th district of Kabul.
At least four people told Tahawul that on Saturday (July 18), Taliban officials arrested these girls from west Kabul on charges of “not wearing a hijab.”
The source emphasized that officials from the Taliban Ministry of Good Conduct and Prevention of Vice arrested a number of girls from near and inside the “Barchi Center” store located in Dasht-e-Barchi.
Another source said that the Taliban violently arrested these girls “regardless of their clothing” and took them to an unknown destination.
The source clarified that the arrested girls were apparently properly dressed, but they were arrested by the Taliban nonetheless.
This comes after Taliban forces arrested dozens of girls from Shahr-e-Naw, Kabul, on Wednesday and Thursday last week.
This was the first time in the past year that hundreds of girls had been arrested from Kabul, Balkh, Bamyan, Daikundi and Ghazni provinces.
At the time, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed the arrests of the girls, and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) documented the arrests in its report on the human rights situation.
