Taliban Undermines Ethnic Groups' Social and Cultural Prestige, Says Jamiat-e Islami Party

In response to the UNAMA report on the Taliban's detention of Hazara and Tajik girls, the Jamiat-e Islami Party has said that the group is trying to introduce certain ethnic communities against the religious and cultural values of the country.

This party said that the continued rule of the Taliban is the biggest threat to the "security, culture and society" of Afghanistan.

In a statement published on X social media platform on Tuesday, it referred to the exclusion of women from social life by the Taliban and considered the new UNAMA report as a reflection of the realities of the Taliban government.

In its statement, Jamiat-e-Islami stated that "the Taliban are purposefully seeking to damage the social and cultural prestige of certain ethnic groups in Afghanistan”.

UNAMA published a report on Monday, pointing out cases of gender-based violence against women and girls, including detention and dismissal from work and targeted attacks against Hazaras.

The report sparked various reactions.

The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan and the Afghanistan Freedom Front also reacted to the report and stated that they will take action against the perpetrators of human rights violations in Afghanistan.

Recently, the Taliban has increased the detention of girls and women under the pretext of "improper hijab".
