Taliban Confirms Absolute Ban of Political Parties in Afghanistan
Abdul Hakim Sharei, the Taliban’s Minister of Justice, said that the activities of political parties in Afghanistan have been prohibited.
On Wednesday, Sharei stated that there is no Sharia basis for political parties and added that banning the parties is in the interest of the nation and the people in Afghanistan are not in favour of having them.
According to the Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency, officials of the group’s Ministry of Justice said that the Taliban reviews all laws of Afghanistan according to "Islamic Sharia".
After the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021, Afghan political party leaders and politicians left Afghanistan. A number of these leaders continued their political activities outside Afghanistan, mainly against the Taliban.
Taliban officials added that 38 legal documents and 10 procedural documents have been prepared in this ministry and shared with the Taliban leader for review.
