Taliban govt detains aid workers over ‘beard length’

In a recent incident, the Taliban government's morality police detained around 20 aid workers near the Iran-Afghanistan border for not adhering to the strict dress code requiring men to grow beards longer than a fist. This crackdown highlights the stringent enforcement of their interpretation of Islamic law, raising concerns about the treatment of humanitarian workers in the region. Such actions not only threaten the safety of aid workers but also cast a shadow over the broader efforts to provide essential services to vulnerable populations in Afghanistan.
