The new laws mark the newest in a series of restrictions positioned on the folks of Afghanistan primarily based on the Taliban's strict interpretation of Islamic Sharia legislation.
"You are urgently informed that from today, shaving beards and playing music in barbershops and public baths are strictly prohibited," the native authority mentioned Sunday in an announcement.
"If any barbershop or public bath is found to have shaved anyone's beard or played music, they will be dealt with according to the Sharia principles and they will not have the right to complain," the assertion added.
