The Taliban authorities in eastern Parwan Province have arrested six men and three women in Charikar City on charges of ‘moral corruption’.
The arrests were made on Thursday, July 28, 2023, in the 3rd PD of Charikar City.
The Taliban security command said that the individuals will be transferred to the judicial institutions of the group in Parwan province after the completion of an investigation.
The arrests come amid a broader crackdown on what the Taliban call ‘moral corruption. In recent months, the group has arrested dozens of people on charges of such offenses, including adultery, fornication, and homosexuality. The group has also publicly punished individuals accused of such offenses in various provinces of the country.
