The department, quoting its city officials, wrote: “We are committed to preserving Islamic and social values and preventing such actions.”
The Taliban are arresting citizens under various pretexts while their own members are mired in corruption. Members of this group have repeatedly committed bribery, falsification of documents, and moral corruption.
However, the so-called Supreme Court of the Taliban and other relevant departments of this group, instead of enforcing punishment, have tried to conceal and cover up the corruption of their members.
