- Taliban govt detains aid workers over ‘beard length’
The Taliban government's morality police detained about 20 aid workers near the Iran-Afghanistan border for having beards shorter than required under strict Islamic law. The detained staff, working for UN-linked organizations, were released within two days, while officials denied arresting NGO personnel but confirmed detaining government employees for similar violations.
