It’s being reported that Afghan women and girls arrested by the Taliban for wearing ‘bad hijab’ have said they were subjected to sexual violence and assault in detention.

If members of the Taliban were doing sexual violence against female prisoners, they would be punished and probably killed.
I don’t believe this story at all.
I would believe some women made it up. I don’t know that the Guardian made it up themselves. They might have, but they also might have gotten these stories from lying whores.
But the story is fake.
Well, I can believe the “assault.” But nothing sexual. That’s against the rules of the Taliban, and unlike other governments, the Taliban actually follows their own rules.
Teenage girls and young women arrested by the Taliban for wearing “bad hijab” say they have been subjected to sexual violence and assault in detention.
In more than one case the arrests and sexual abuse that young women faced while in custody earlier this year led to suicide and attempted suicide, reporters from the Afghan news service Zan Times were told.
In one case, a woman’s body was allegedly found in a canal a few weeks after she had been taken into custody by Taliban militants, with a source close to her family saying she had been sexually abused before her death.
The UN say that many women were detained by the Taliban for “bad hijab” in December 2023 and January 2024, following a Taliban decree that women must cover themselves from head to toe, revealing only their eyes.
The sign, in Pashto, reads: ‘Dear sisters! Hijab and veil are your dignity and in your benefit in this world and the hereafter.’
Amina*, a 22-year-old medical student, said she spent three nights in a Taliban prison after being arrested in January 2024. She said she was interrogated by an older man who asked her about her menstruation and whether she was married or not.
“I fell at his feet and begged him, ‘Please, kill me but don’t harass me’,” she said. “He said: ‘Since you are keen to die, I will kill you, but before that, let us have fun with you.’
“Then he started touching my private parts,” Amina said. “I fainted twice during the interrogation, but every time, he poured cold water over my head.”
Nope, nope, nope.
Don’t believe that.
Amina said what happened to her happened to every girl taken to that interrogation room and left alone with the man.
“[Now] I can’t sleep at night, I am so scared, and every time I see the Taliban soldiers, I faint,” she said. “I have tried to kill myself twice.
Oh, okay.
“Once I took all of my mother’s medication, but my family took me to hospital. Every time I remember that they touched me, I can’t bear living,” Amina said.
On 4 January a spokesman for the Taliban’s ministry of vice and virtue told the Associated Press that the women who were arrested “violated Islamic values and rituals and encouraged society and other respected sisters to go for bad hijab … [i]n every province, those who go without hijab will be arrested.”
After condemnation in Afghanistan and abroad, Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, later denied that arrests over “bad hijab” had taken place.
Well. I believe him before anonymous sluts.
Yep, yep.
In response to the allegations of sexual assault of young women in detention, a Taliban spokesman also denied there had been any arrests for “bad hijab” and said: “The issue of rape is not at all possible because there is not just one or two people [in the room with a prisoner] and when there are three people, such a crime would not happen …[this is] a very sensitive issue for the Taliban. I am sure such a thing did not happen.”

I’m sure it didn’t happen.
This is just atrocity propaganda, because all these journalists never wanted the Afghan war to end, and now they want another invasion to “save the sluts.”
Sorry, retards. We’ve got wars with Russia, Iran, and China. We’re not going to Afghanistan again. At least not any time soon. I mean, maybe there will be some bombings if the Taliban starts sending soldiers to Lebanon, which they said they were thinking about doing.
But you’re not getting an invasion to free the sluts.
Not happening.
As a girl from Afghanistan,I don’t accept this ridiculous Burqa. All governments must accept women who do not like the hijab. We do not accept the obligatory hijab! pic.twitter.com/LvYAQ5faGW
