Afghanistan: New Taliban gov't bans protests without prior approval

The interior ministry of the new Taliban government wants to put an end to days of demonstrations during which security forces assaulted protesters.
The group says demonstrators must get prior permission to protest and officials must approve slogans and banners.
On Tuesday, the Taliban used gunfire to disperse crowds in Kabul.

Nothing new, half the world has the same law.

[salmanali-rmso]

lol that lady holding poster "freedom is our motto it makes us proud" I guess that means freedom under foreign forces occupying a sovereign land. That just shows their slave mentality.

[mazumdar]

In England too citizens still need govt approval for protests

[keracsvminya]

It seems that any country needs approval before it can protest. Even in the West, a large number of police suppress illegal protests every day.

[ImranKhan-wzio]

Unapproved protests are banned everywhere in the world lolz. What kind of news headline is this?

[ronniejames]

2 types of protests, instigated protest for the sake to create unrest or genuine protest to resolve unhappiness or issues.

[jesusaguilar]

Here in the US, we need permits to protest. Sure we can spontaneously protests; I have participated in many of these, but the police immediately show up to try and control the protests.

[zednero]

Their motto " Freedom is our motto, It makes Us proud" REALLY ? Where were you when you were Under foreign occupation and were being invaded by foreign countries ?

[anneeq]

That's what literally all countries do

[lunarcalendar]

Oh come on, you can't protest without approval disrupting others work. I thought this was the norm everywhere.

[itsme]

In Australia we are in lockdown more than a year. Protest against the lockdown not allowed. People getting arrested before they going into protest. It's 100% true.

[LHK]

This is the correct way to go. Western countries always give the impression that people can do anything they like. In reality it is not. They are just bluffing you.

[mixyguy]

This is rule in all western countries too, that prior approval is needed, great work Taliban for making this rule!!♥️♥️♥️♥️

[josephsimmons]

That's goes for every country.
No country allows protest with prior approval from officials and head of police.

[iamjerryliu]

May the Afghans find national reconciliation, peace and prosperity.

[mohammadamanghauri]

Are you allowed to protest anywhere in the “democratic” world without prior approval from authorities?!
SMH

[flippantweirdo]

The female protesters who’re sponsored by america, holding iphones 🤣

[sajidabu]

Nothing new in that everywhere in a democratic country this rule applies to why it has become a part of the debate.

[beautifulhdbangladesh]

Taliban is most Islamic powerful political party in world . Al humdulilla.

[shafqatinsari]

Very good decision by Taliban because only 0.0001% people are working against Taliban on foreign lobby
