Madar Ali Karimi, the deputy minister of urban development in the Taliban government, apologized for the security forces' mistreatment of Shiite citizens during Muharram. He strongly criticized these actions and shared his concerns with senior officials.
Speaking at a mosque in western Kabul, the official emphasized that leadership orders were not properly implemented. In recent days, dozens of people were detained in Kabul for putting up Muharram mourning flags.
Despite previous warnings, some mourners continued to display religious symbols. Meanwhile, the Taliban government's increasing pressure on the religious ceremonies of minority groups has consistently faced widespread criticism in recent years.
