Taliban morality police round up females – despite them wearing hijabs – as the group ramps up ‘psychological abuse’ on Afghan women
The Taliban's morality police in Afghanistan are reportedly detaining women and girls even when they are already wearing hijabs, according to the Daily Mail, as part of what is described as an escalating campaign of psychological pressure on Afghan women. The report suggests enforcement of dress and conduct rules has intensified beyond stated religious requirements, adding to the climate of fear and restriction facing women under Taliban rule.
