There has been a sharp increase in crime in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime from bomb blasts to the kidnapping of dignitaries. Islamists have also targeted the country’s religious minorities and say women can enjoy their rights under Sharia law.

The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan after the seizure of the capital, Kabul, on August 15, which led to the collapse of the previous government and sparked a mass evacuation of foreign workers and Afghan collaborators. The country plunged into crisis in August after Kabul fell to the Taliban and the democratically elected government of former president Ashraf Ghani collapsed.
