If their faces are seen in public, their male “guardian” will be fined, then jailed.
The latest restrictions on women, part of a system of controls that activists have attacked as “gender apartheid”, are likely to set back the Taliban’s bid for international recognition and support, as the country grapples with an“The world is a bystander to our pain, to an apartheid, to complete tyranny,” Shaharzad Akhbar, the former head of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, now living abroad in exile, said on Twitter.
The group had promised it had changed over the two decades since it ran Afghanistan as a brutal, impoverished theocracy in the late 1990s, where women were barred from almost all work and education.
This is a vile breach of human rights. No woman should be made to cover her face in public.
