Khalid Hanefi, the Taliban's Minister of Promoting Virtue, has responded to criticisms regarding the ministry's new law, stating that "implementing Sharia is the Taliban's red line."
Tarz Press: Hanefi made these remarks today, August 26, during a meeting with enforcers of this ministry in Sar-e-Pol province in northern Afghanistan. He emphasized that the law will be enforced without exception and will apply to everyone. Addressing the critics of this law, Hanefi said, "Implementing Sharia, Islamic punishments, and hijab are the red lines of the Taliban."
The Taliban's Promoting Virtue law, which imposes serious restrictions on the people of Afghanistan, particularly women, was ratified by the Taliban leader last week and published in the official gazette. The law has sparked both domestic and international reactions, but as observed, the Taliban have not taken these reactions seriously.
