Taliban Raids Apartment to Arrest Anti-Hijab Women
20th January 2022
The Taliban, which took control of Afghanistan after President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal of American troops from the country, smashed in the door of a Kabul apartment to arrest a women’s rights advocate and her sisters, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Tamana Zaryabi Paryani took part in a Sunday protest against the Taliban’s mandate that women wear hijabs, Islamic headscarves. In response, 10 armed men who said they were from the Taliban intelligence department raided Paryani’s apartment on Wednesday.
Yet another reminder that Islam is an oppressive totalitarian ideology with which no co-existence is possible.
