Taliban’s worrying new diktat for those who criticise ‘Islamic Emirate’

The Taliban will punish those who criticize the scholars and public servants of ‘Afghan Islamic Emirates’ without authenticity, both with movements, words or anything, reported by Ani News Agency quoting Voice of America (VOA). Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid has reportedly published a series of new instructions associated with their leader, Mullah Amaullah Akhundzada, calling their implementation sharia responsibility” of the people and the media.

The Afghan people have been ordered to stop unnecessary accusations against government officials and avoid criticism that is “far from reality”, without determining it. The Sunnni Pashtun group has long been accused of violating human rights and often faces criticism of their attitudes towards the education of girls and women’s rights.

Some reports from human rights and media organizations show that the Taliban has “captured, imprisoned, and tortured several people who criticized them on social media”. Under the new instructions from Akhundzada, such actions are considered “negative propaganda” which are unconsciously helping enemies “, report VOA.

If there are people who “touch any army, or pull their clothes, or say bad things to him” will be considered as an act that can be punished, according to new direction according to VOA

National Resistance Front” which was identified himself against the Taliban government in Afghanistan and has repeatedly accused Islamic fundamentalists “captured, killed and injured civilians”. According to the United Nations report released earlier this week, 18 murders outside the law, 54 examples of torture and bad treatment and 113 examples of arbitrary arrests and detention and 23 cases of detention without individual communication affiliated with the national resistance front have been recorded.

The new direction was published a few weeks after Mullah from Herat, Mujibur Rahman Ansari, asked the participants at the “Great Bachelor Meeting” in Kabul to issue a fatwa that called for the decapitations of the opponents of the Taliban government, VOA reported.

Baitullah Hamidi, Professor of the Faculty of Journalism at Kabul University, wrote on his Facebook page that this situation would “make oppression and violence in the country stronger and more frightening.”

He also wrote that “Nothing is free from criticism before the world.” There is no emir or other humans who are so sacred that he should not be criticized …. this is the last nail in the coffin of freedom of speech. “
