Sources in the city of Lashkargah confirmed to KabulNow that the Taliban Vice and Virtue police agents have sealed 70 shops, accusing the owners of not attending Friday prayers.
A source who didn’t want to be named said the shopkeepers have each been issued with a 10,000 AFN ($111) fine.
The Taliban has previously stated Vice and Virtue orders were advisory only, but it has pubished those who fail to comply.
