Taliban declare women cannot enter Afghan national park
KABUL, Afghanistan: A spokesman for the Taliban's Vice and Virtue Ministry has said that security forces will stop women from visiting Band-e-Amir, one of Afghanistan's most popular national parks.
The reason they will be blocked, the ministry said, was because women have not been observing the proper way to wear the hijab, or Islamic headscarf, when going to Band-e-Amir in the central Bamiyan province.
