Taliban bans women from appearing in TV dramas Last Updated : 22 Nov 2021 01:06:43 PM IST Women have been banned from appearing in television dramas in Afghanistan under new rules imposed by the Taliban-led government, the BBC reported.
Female journalists and presenters have also been ordered to wear headscarves on screen, although the guidelines do not say which type of covering to use.Reporters say some of the rules are vague and subject to interpretation, according to the BBC report.The latest set of Taliban guidelines, which have been issued to Afghan television channels, features eight new rules.They include the banning of films considered against the principles of Sharia, or Islamic law and Afghan values, while footage of men exposing intimate parts of the body is prohibited, the report added.Comedy and entertainment shows that insult religion or may be considered offensive to Afghans are also forbidden.The Taliban have insisted that foreign films promoting foreign cultural values should not be broadcast, the report added.Afghan television channels show mostly foreign dramas with lead female characters.A member of an organisation that represents journalists in Afghanistan, Hujjatullah Mujaddedi, said the announcement of new restrictions was unexpected.He told the BBC that some of the rules were not practical and that if implemented, broadcasters may be forced to close.The Taliban's earlier decision to order girls and young women to stay home from school made Afghanistan the only country in the world to bar half its population from getting an education.The mayor of the capital, Kabul, also told female municipal employees to stay home unless their jobs could not be filled by a man, the report said.IANS Kabul For Latest Updates Please-
