Taliban morality enforcers detained several women late Thursday near the Parwan Hotel in Kabul’s 11th district, local sources said.
The women were taken to a Taliban security facility, where families were told to pay 20,000 afghanis (about $280) and informed that the women would spend one night in jail, according to the sources.
Some of the women were released Friday morning, but others remain in detention, the sources added. They said the women were wearing the Taliban’s required form of hijab at the time of their arrest.
