Taliban enforce face coverings for Afghanistan’s female news presenters - [ Ссылка ]

"Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers have begun enforcing an order requiring all female TV news presenters in the country to cover their faces while on air, as part of a hardline shift that has drawn condemnation from rights activists.

After the order was announced on Thursday, only a handful of news outlets complied. However, on Sunday most female presenters were seen with their faces covered after the Taliban’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice began enforcing the decree.

The Ministry of Information and Culture previously announced that the policy was “final and non-negotiable”."
