New Taliban laws that prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes have been condemned by the UN and met with horror by human rights groups.

The Taliban published a host of new “vice and virtue” laws last week, approved by their supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, which state that women must completely veil their bodies – including their faces – in thick clothing at all times in public to avoid leading men into temptation and vice.

Women’s voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of vice and so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions. Women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud, even from inside their houses.

      If the sight or sound of a woman triggers their weak little boners, then yes.

        What about drones zooming around with sweet women sounds? Is there a gofundme for that somewhere?

        These countries must be stopped and everyone liberated. It’s worse than life imprisonment.

          I like that. Drones that both play porn audio and drop nudes like propaganda pamphlets. It would shut the country down.
