Friday, October 16, 2026 - Hundreds of Afghans, including children, have been detained
by the Taliban for sporting Western haircuts, trimming their beards and,
violating face-covering rules.
According to a new United Nations report, at least 443
arrests were carried out by the Taliban's morality police from July to
September,
The detentions were mainly linked to alleged violations of
the Taliban's rules surrounding men's hair and beards and women's dress
codes.

in August for allegedly trimming men's beards and giving their customers
'Western' haircuts.
The UN also documented more than 50 instances of Taliban
morality police arresting, detaining or cautioning women, including young
girls, accused of violating face-covering requirements over the same
period.
