Prominent religious scholar Waliullah Labib has sharply criticized the actions of Taliban Vice and Virtue agents in a new video statement.
Armed agents recently raided a graduation ceremony in Herat, forcing students to remove their ties. Labib labeled this behavior as instilling terror and called it a “greater sin” than the act they were policing.
The scholar emphasized that the agents’ actions constitute a violation of citizens’ privacy and challenge the religious credibility of the department.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many users describing the treatment of the graduates as humiliating and insulting.
Citizens argue that focusing on appearance and clothing rather than solving fundamental problems widens the gap between the public and the de facto authorities.
This event has once again ignited debates regarding the scope of authority held by the morality police and their conduct toward the public.
