Taliban bans the sound of womens' voices singing or reading
They fired all the officers who wouldn't grow beards, and now they're banning the sound of women's voices singing or reading, among many other new controls on public life. The Taliban is sinking in.
The 114-page, 35-article document seen by The Associated Press constitutes the first formal declaration of vice and virtue laws in Afghanistan since the Taliban seized power in 2021, when it also set up a ministry for the "propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice."
