Sirajuddin Haqqani, the acting interior minister of the Taliban government, has emphasized the need to secure citizens during the Islamic month of Muharram. He urged security forces to increase their efforts to gain public trust and maintain order.
Haqqani also stressed the implementation of a newly ratified law by the Taliban leadership. His statements come amid growing concerns, as Shia religious ceremonies in recent years have faced severe restrictions on public gatherings and religious symbols.
The Taliban government claims these measures are necessary to prevent deadly attacks by the ISIS-Khorasan group. However, human rights organizations and citizens argue that such restrictions represent an unfair interference in their freedom to practice religious rituals.
