The Taliban’s religious police detained seven shopkeepers at a women’s market for allowing women to enter their shops for shopping, sources said.

A shopkeeper at the women’s market, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the Taliban fighters came at around 11 a.m. beating eight shopkeepers, and detaining seven of them. The Taliban didn’t detain one of the eight because they had beaten him severely at the market.

He said the Taliban had warned the shopkeepers about a week ago that they weren’t allowed to let female customers enter their shops while shopping, and that they can only sell goods to women outside their shops.

Another shopkeeper, who has a women cosmetics shop, said shop owners at the women’s market staged a protest, closing their shops.

He said the Taliban’s religious police, which are working under the propagation of virtue and prevention of vice department of Kandahar, should apologize because the shopkeepers had done nothing against the law.
