Taliban Detains 5 Female Demonstrators & 3 Journalists in Kabul
Taliban detained five female protesters and three journalists on Thursday and transferred them to an unknown location. According to Taliban sources, they disrupted the women's demonstrations and beat up the protesters.
These women held a demonstration in Kabul against the ban on girls' education in Afghanistan.
The sources added that the Taliban tried to detain more female protesters, but many of them fled the area.
On Wednesday, several Afghan women protested in front of Kabul University against the Taliban's ban on girls' education too, but the protesters said that the group cracked down on the protest and confiscated their mobile phones.
The Taliban announced on Tuesday that based on a decree of the group’s leader, female university students across Afghanistan are barred from higher education.
The recent decree of the Taliban leader has been met with global outcry and widespread domestic criticism.
