Taliban morality police detained at least nine women in Herat city over two days, arresting them in the 64-Meter area, Marmar Market, and Bakrabad neighborhoods

Taliban morality police detained at least nine women in Herat city over two days, arresting them in the 64-Meter area, Marmar Market, and Bakrabad neighborhoods despite the women wearing Islamic head coverings. Residents report women are increasingly afraid to leave their homes due to harassment and intimidation. Former detainees describe prolonged detention, psychological abuse, isolation from family, and denial of legal representation. Separately, female doctors in Panjshir were reportedly ordered to wear a burqa or be barred from work. The detentions are part of a broader enforcement campaign; at least 30 women were detained in Herat in June 2026 over similar dress-code allegations.

The record is what reached us and passed review. Thin coverage in a province reflects reporting conditions and access as much as the underlying situation, and absence of incidents is not evidence of absence of violations. No figure here is a national total.
