The militants of the radical movement “Taliban” (banned in Russia a terrorist organization) wanted to ban Afghan women to play cricket and other sports. It is reported by RIA Novosti, citing the deputy head of the Commission on Culture in the Taliban Government Akhmadulla Vasik.
The representative of the movement indicated the lack of need to allow women to play cricket. According to him, during the game they may face the situation when the body and face will not be covered. “Islam does not allow women to look like that,” he clarified.
