Repression of women's rights activists continues in Afghanistan; Media: Taliban arrest two more women

Hours later, Amaj News reported, citing sources close to the Taliban government's Minister of Intelligence, the release of Tamanna Paryani, but there is no information on the status of the other two women.

Hours before the news was published, the Amaj News Twitter account had reported the risk of arresting Tamanna Paryani, a women's rights activist in Afghanistan, by the Taliban.

Amaj News had published a video of Tamanna Paryani in which the women's rights activist asks for help and says that Taliban members visited her house at night and demanded entry.

In another video posted on the Amaj News Twitter page, several men can be heard coming from behind the door, attempting to force their way into Tamanna Paryani's residence.

In this video, the screams of Tamanna Paryani and another woman can be clearly heard, refusing to open the door of their home to members of the Taliban group.

In the video, one of them says to the Taliban members: "Talk from behind the door, I cannot open the door for you to rape my sister."

Tamanna Paryani is one of the women who has protested the restrictions imposed on Afghan women by the Taliban in recent months.

Amaj News, which publishes news about Afghanistan in Persian, Pashto, and English, has not yet provided further details.

Since coming to power in Afghanistan and forming a government in Kabul, the Taliban have imposed extensive restrictions on women, measures that have been strongly criticized by women's rights advocates and the international community.

Restricting women's education and employment is among the measures taken by the Taliban in recent months.
