Taliban’s recent military advance has been accompanied by revenge killings and mass executions. The Islamic militia is not only executing captured soldiers, but also **artists and critics**. The Taliban, inspired by the Sharia law, is using the same playbook used by the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. “Taliban commanders have demanded that communities **turn over unmarried women to become “wives” for their fighters**,” The Wall Street Journal reported citing local human rights groups. The Taliban has vowed to reintroduce Sharia and turn the country into an Islamic Emirate. When the Taliban previously ruled the country, “**women were banned from work and girls were not allowed to attend school. Women had to cover their face and be accompanied by a male relative outside their homes**,” The BBC noted.
