Instagram capture
The day before, the Taliban shot an Afghan woman for ‘outing without a burqa’. However, on this day, a woman wearing a niqab was caught tied to a rope and captured by the Taliban, which is shocking.
On the 19th, an Instagram user shared a picture saying, “I have nothing to say other than that it is creepy.” The photo shows a woman wearing a niqab, standing with a terrified expression, and a man who appears to be a Taliban. The woman’s wrist is tied to a rope, and the rope is held tightly in the hand of a man believed to be a Taliban.

There is no explanation in the photo, so it is impossible to determine the exact situation, but there is a possibility that he may have been sanctioned for exposing his eyes. A burqa is a garment that covers the eyes. Clothing that exposes only the eyes like the woman in the photo is called a niqab. Netizens who saw this reacted with concern and worried about the safety of women. A woman was shot on the street the day before for not wearing a burqa.
The Taliban promised to respect women’s rights and said, “We will allow students to go to school, work, and go out even if they only wear a hijab that covers only their hair, not a burqa.” However, as it is known that women in Afghanistan who do not wear burqas are being threatened, distrust of the Taliban is growing.
