The Taliban has ordered the removal of the heads of female mannequins kept in shops in western Afghanistan.
According to foreign media reports, the heads of the female mannequins have been ordered to be removed in accordance with Islamic law.
According to the foreign media, the owners of the shops cut off the heads of the female mannequins in their shops.
Minister of Moral Promotion and Prevention of Immorality Aziz Raman has stated that according to Sharia law, the heads of the relevant mannequins have been ordered to be removed.
Following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan last year, Sharia law was re-enforced, with strict restrictions on women and girls.
This is Herat where the Taliban authorities have asked clothing shops to behead all “female mannequins” calling them “un-Islamic”. Herat was called “the pearl of Khurasan” by Rumi and has been considered the cultural capital of #Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com/CUBA6fSE74
