After the protests and public marches against the Taliban, the Taliban Ministry of Interior and the spokesperson of the Emirate issued a statement announcing that any type of demonstration or march that has not been authorized by the relevant authorities is now prohibited.

The statement mentioned that organizers of protests and marches must obtain permission from the Ministry of Justice and relevant institutions, and the slogans and messages of the protests must be approved.

Following public protests, particularly by women and civil society actors, the Taliban’s Ministry of Interior issued a directive prohibiting all demonstrations without prior approval from the Ministry of Justice and other authorities, including pre-approval of slogans. This measure represents a direct restriction on the rights to freedom of assembly, expression, and participation in public life, serving to suppress dissent and prevent grassroots mobilization.
