Protests erupted in Herat after the Taliban intensified enforcement of women’s dress code, with security forces firing on the crowd and deploying special units to disperse the gathering. At least two people, including a boy, were killed, several others were injured, and dozens of women were arrested for not wearing the mandatory chador.

    1. As far as we know, the Taliban have arrested some women in the past few days, and that's apparently why their family members and others have been protesting [against] these rules. They see the Taliban as interfering in people's privacy, which is unacceptable.
