In Afghanistan, the Taliban still strengthens their control of women. The supreme chief ordered, on Saturday, May 7, to the Afghanes to wear the burqa, a full veil, in public. This is the most severe restriction on their freedom since the Taliban’s return to power in August.
“They should bear a Chadri [another name of the burqa], because it is traditional and respectful,” notes this decree signed by Hibatullah Akhundzada and made public on Saturday by the Taliban government before the press in Kabul.
