Read Time:1 Minute, 12 Second

Since seizing power in Afghanistan in August last time, the Taliban have issued fiats abridging the freedoms of women– from making hijabs obligatory in public to barring adolescent girls from going to academy. Now, the Taliban government has dealt a rather crazy order instructing business possessors to remove the heads from mannequins in their stores.

The reason behind the move? According to the country’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, numbers representing the mortal form violate Islamic law.

A videotape participated by news agency Agence France-Presse shows shopkeepers bobbing the heads off mannequins in compliance with the new decree. Aziz Rahman, head of the ministry in the fiefdom of Herat, appertained to the mannequins as “ statues” and said that they should be misshaped because they wereun-Islamic.

Some tried to find a work-around to the decapitation order by covering the mannequins’heads with cloth. But they ultimately had to fall in line after being advised of” grave penalties”.

Business Possessors are far from happy. Not only do they sweat losing out on deals, but defacing the mannequins in their stores has formerly bring them dearly.

“We’ve 15 mannequins in our shops and have been forced to hash off their heads. We’ve lost between 2- AFN ($ 19-28) for each of them. When there’s no mannequin, how can we vend our stock to guests?” bemoaned a shopkeeper in Herat, as quoted by AFP.
