The Taliban government has announced the public burning of hundreds of musical instruments in the eastern province of Khost. The governor's office stated in a newsletter that these items were confiscated and destroyed because they supposedly violate Islamic principles.
According to the official statement, members of the morality police gathered the instruments during their routine monitoring activities and set them ablaze in a designated location. Authorities of the Taliban government claimed this action aims to promote Islamic values and prevent moral corruption within the local society.
This destruction highlights the severe restrictions imposed on cultural and artistic activities, particularly music, since the Taliban government regained power in Afghanistan. These harsh policies have forced countless musicians and artists to flee the country in search of safety.
