Afghan Men Arrested for Wearing Peaky Blinders Outfits

Afghan Men Arrested for Wearing Peaky Blinders Outfits

Four young men in Afghanistan were arrested by the Taliban because they were wearing clothes that looked like the ones in a British TV show called 'Peaky Blinders'.

The Taliban didn't like that they were wearing these clothes because they thought it was promoting foreign culture and going against Afghan values.

The men were taken in by the Taliban's ministry that deals with promoting good behavior and preventing bad behavior.

They were given a warning and then let go.

The men said they liked the style and thought it was fashionable, but they promised not to wear those clothes anymore.

The Taliban believes that people in Afghanistan should follow their own religious and cultural values, especially when it comes to what they wear.

Since the Taliban took control, they have made many rules that affect how people can dress, what education they can receive, and other aspects of daily life.

Many young people in Afghanistan are afraid because of these strict rules.
