Taliban Pour 3,000 Litres Of Alcohol Into Kabul Canal
A team of Afghan intelligence agents poured around 3,000 litres of liquor into a canal in Kabul.
Even before the Taliban gained control of Afghanistan, alcohol was banned in the country. However, after the Taliban took control of the country, they are even more strict over the manufacture, sales and consumption of liquor. Since the Islamists seized power on August 15, the frequency of raids, including on drug addicts, has increased across the country. Video footage released by the General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) showed its agents pouring alcohol stored in barrels into the canal after seizing it during a raid in Kabul. Around 3,000 litres of liquor was poured into the canal. In the video, a religious leader said, "Muslims have to seriously abstain from making and delivering alcohol.”
It was not clear when the raid was carried out or exactly when the alcohol was destroyed, but a statement issued by the agency said three dealers were arrested during the operation. Ever since the Taliban seized power, they have issued many discriminatory rules that have been enacted by the Taliban across Afghanistan including women can be taught by only women, and that men and women must be separated in a mixed classroom, use separate entrances and exits, men should not shave their beards, etc.
