3,000 litres of liquor poured into canal in Kabul

A team of Afghan intelligence officers spilled roughly 3,000 litres of wine into a canal in Kabul, according to the country’s spy agency.

The General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) published video footage of its operatives pouring booze from barrels into the canal after seizing it during an operation in the capital.

 

In a video uploaded by the agency on Twitter, intelligence officer stated, “Muslims must seriously abstain from creating and delivering alcohol.”

It was unclear when the raid took place or when the alcohol was destroyed, but the agency stated three sellers were arrested during the operation in a statement.

Much under the previous Western-backed rule, selling and consuming alcohol was prohibited, but the Taliban, who are known for their austere interpretation of Islam, are even more adamant in their rejection.

Since the Islamists took control on August 15, the number of raids has grown around the country, especially on drug addicts.

Women’s rights have also been restricted by the Taliban government’s Ministry for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, which has published various recommendations.
