[ToloNews] The Ministry of Vice and Virtue’s (MoVV) front man said that a "women employees" department will be formed to continue activities within the ministry.
Spokesman Akif Mahajar said that the department will help to bring reforms.
"The ministry is trying to form a department to bring reforms for women," he said.
Talking at a presser of the MoVV’s annual report on the current Afghan situation, Mahajar said that the MoVV has received nearly 2,000 complaints, many of which have been addressed.
Based on the numbers of the MoVV, more than 900 members of the Islamic Emirate have been dismissed for various reasons.
"If a teenager was appointed, we have dismissed him. We have dismissed those who were using drugs. If anyone was shaving their beards, we have dismissed them. We have carried out this process in Kabul and 15 other provinces and will do it in other provinces as well," said Abdulrahman Munir, military deputy of the MoVV.
Mahajar talked about the women’s hijab:
"A Moslem sister must be covered with hijab that won’t be too tight, too thin, not too fashionable—and don’t use the clothes that are used by non-Moslems," he said.

"We beat up the complainants."

I'll bet that they'll be inundated with resumes.

If you thought the male MoVV agents were rough...
Because a corner of the world already grossly oversupplied with imams and madrassa teachers needs even more who are even more overqualified to be cannon fodder. In the meantime, Afghan secondary school age girls are required to play with colouring books and wait to be married off.
[ToloNews] The Ministry of Higher Education said it has recently created the Faculty of Islamic Law in universities across seventeen Afghan provinces.
Abdul Baqi Haqqani, minister of higher education, added that the subject of Islamic culture in universities has increased from 18 credits to 24 credits.
"Based on the proposal of the Ministry of Higher Education and acceptance of the leadership, the theme of Islamic culture has been enriched in this section compared to the past. A strong curriculum has been established for it, and three days a week have been selected for it," Haqqani said.
"This decision has been taken in accordance with the national and Islamic values of the country's society," said Abdurauf Farahi, the Ministry of Higher Education's director of curriculum.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Council of Boskone, Kinnison began his slow infiltration of the sewer system... some university professors asked the international community to cooperate with the private universities to upgrade the education curriculum of private universities.
"They should create laboratories for us to conduct those things that we cannot do without laboratories, and help us in the academic curriculum," said Noor Zaman Bawari, a university lecturer.
[BenarNews] An Indonesian and two Malaysians who have been incarcerated for more than 15 years at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on terrorism charges linked to the 2002 Bali bombings are scheduled to appear in court for a pre-trial hearing in late October, U.S. defense officials announced Monday.
If all goes to schedule, Indonesian Encep Nurjaman (also known as Hambali ...real name Riduan Isamuddin, close personal friend of Osama bin Laden, one of the founders of Jemaah Islamiyah and the planner of the 2002 Bali bombings. He was captured with the help of a mid-Eastern intel service, shipped to Guantanamo to rot but he'll likely be released eventually because that was a long time ago and we were all so much younger then... ), and Malaysians Nazir Bin Lep
...more formally Mohammed Nazir Bin Lep, informally Lillie. He’s one of Hambali’s lieutenants — they were captured together in Thailand in 2003...
and Farik Bin Amin
... another Hambali lieutenant, he’s known more formally as Mohd Farik Bin Amin, his nom de guerre was Zubair Zaid and while it’s uncertain whether he was captured with the other two, the three spent years with the same interrogators. His cousin was master bomb maker Zulkifli Abdhir, called Marwan, who provided senior management and work product for the Kumpulan Mujahidin Malaysia, Jemaah Islamiyah, and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters until he intersected a hail of Philippine bullets in 2015...
will appear in a military court at Guantanamo from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 — in what would be only their second court appearance since their arrests in Thailand in 2003. Their court hearing will take place a little more than two weeks after the 20th anniversary of the Bali bombings — the deadliest terrorist attack in Indonesia’s history.
When the three were arrested 19 years ago, they were sent to CIA black sites, where they were tortured, before being transferred to the U.S. military prison in Cuba in 2006, according to a 2014 U.S. Senate report.
The military court and the U.S. Department of Defense did not release details of the planned hearing for the three, "all of whom have been charged jointly in connection with their alleged roles in the 2002 and 2003 bombings in Indonesia," in a notice to media interested in covering the proceedings at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo.
The trio first appeared at a military court there during their arraignment in August 2021. At the time, their lawyers lodged a protest before military Judge Hayes Larsen about the poor quality of the audio translations their clients were receiving.
Referred to as "alien unprivileged enemy belligerents" in some court documents, Nurjaman, bin Lep and bin Amin face charges related to twin bombings that killed 202 people in Bali in October 2002 and a bombing at the J.W. Marriott hotel in Jakarta in 2003. None of the men entered a plea to the charges against them following their arraignment last August.
In an effort to improve translations, Larsen ordered military prosecutors to hire and assign qualified interpreters for any upcoming court action.
"The defense teams all indicated they need assurances in order to be able to use their government-provided defense interpreters for attorney-client communications," Larsen wrote in a January court filing ahead of what was supposed to be a pre-trial hearing in late February.
Responding to the judge, prosecutors said in a Feb. 1 filing that they were seeking to hire four full-time interpreters, two for each language.
"Because of the uncertain timeline involved in obtaining clearances for new hires who do not have clearances, it is too speculative to estimate when fully cleared full-time interpreters will be available to assist the commission," they wrote.
James Hodes, who represents Hambali, blasted the prosecutors, noting they had 18 years to prepare their case against his client, which included hiring "qualified commission interpreters."
"This is what you are tasked with and this is what you have failed to provide," he told BenarNews earlier this year while calling the lack of interpreters a "huge obstacle for a fair trial."
Hodes could not immediately be reached on Monday for comment on the proposed court dates.
[GEO.TV] In order to help ease Pakistan’s funding crunch and consequent risk of default, Qatar is expected to give Islamabad funds worth $2 billion in bilateral support, Bloomberg reported Monday.
Ahead of the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) board meeting scheduled to be held on August 29, Pakistan has secured financing worth $4 billion from friendly countries — which was a prerequisite to reviving the stalled Fund programme.
Pakistan will also receive $1 billion in oil financing from Saudi Arabia and a similar amount in investments from the UAE.

[An Nahar] Israel on Monday warned Hezbollah that any attack on its gas assets could spark war, after the Iran-backed Lebanese group threatened to "sever" Israel's hands if it taps a disputed offshore field.
The warning from Defense Minister Benny Gantz comes amid lengthy negotiations between Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... and Israel to settle a dispute over their maritime border.
Tensions spiked in June when a production vessel chartered by Israel arrived near the Karish offshore gas field, which Lebanon claims is within contested waters.
Israel said on July 2 that it had downed three drones launched by Hezbollah towards Karish.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... said on August 9 that "the hand that reaches for any of this wealth will be severed."
Asked if any attack by Hezbollah against an Israeli gas field could lead to war, Gantz said: "Yes, that could trigger a reaction."
"Leading to several days of fighting and to a military campaign. We are strong and prepared for this scenario, but we don't want it," the minister told Israel's 103 FM radio station.
Gantz said extraction from the gas field would begin "when it is ready to produce," reaffirming Israel's claim to Karish.
"The State of Israel is both ready to protect its assets and ready to reach a deal with the Lebanese government, via American mediation, on the Sidon deposit," he said in reference to another gas field known in Lebanon as Qana.
"I believe that in the future, there will be two gas platforms. One on our side, one on theirs. And I hope that we do not have to go through another round of confrontations before then." He added that "war would be a tragedy to Lebanon."
Israel and Hezbollah last fought a devastating conflict in 2006. Israel and Lebanon remain officially at war, with United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... peacekeepers patrolling the land border.
Negotiations on the maritime border resumed in 2020, with the talks stalling before being revived in June.
The initial discussions focused on a disputed area of 860 square kilometers, in accordance with Lebanon's claims registered at the U.N. in 2011.
Lebanon subsequently requested the area be expanded by a further 1,430 square kilometers, which includes part of the Karish field that Israel states is within its exclusive economic zone recognized by the U.N.
