Multiple reports say Taliban morality police detain women in Afghanistan’s western city of Herat even when the women are wearing hijabs. The claim is attributed to Amu TV, a US-based Afghan broadcaster. According to the reports, the detentions occur as the Taliban continues enforcing rules related to women’s dress and public conduct. The sources characterize the actions as part of a broader crackdown that includes increased psychological abuse toward Afghan women, though details of the abuses are not specified in the provided material. The reports emphasize that women were rounded up despite already complying with head-covering requirements in the form of hijabs. Beyond the location (Herat) and the role of “morality police,” no further information is included here about the number of women detained, how long they are held, specific charges, or statements from Taliban officials. The articles therefore center on alleged detentions and enforcement practices rather than documented outcomes or independently verified figures.
