Afghanistan: Taliban burn ‘immoral' musical instruments
By Kelly NgBBC News
The Taliban have burned Musical Instruments in Afghanistan, claiming music " causes moral corruption".
Thousands of dollars worth of musical equipment went up in smoke on A Bonfire on Saturday in western Herat province.
Since taking power in 2021, The Taliban have imposed numerous restrictions, including on playing music in public.
Ahmad Sarmast, Afghanistan National Institute of Music founder, likened their actions to " cultural genocide and musical vandalism".
" The People of Afghanistan have been denied artistic freedom… The Burning of Musical Instruments in Herat is just a small example of the cultural genocide that is taking place in Afghanistan under The Leadership of The Taliban , " Dr Sarmast told The Bbc .
Some of the items set ablaze in Herat included a guitar, a harmonium and a Tabla - a kind of Drum - as well as amplifiers and speakers, according to images online. Many of these had been seized from wedding venues in The City .
All forms of music were banned from social gatherings, TV, and radio while The Taliban were in power in Afghanistan from the mid-90s until 2001.
A music scene flourished in the two decades that followed, but The Taliban 's return in August 2021 prompted many musicians to flee the country.
In The Past two years, The Taliban have imposed other severe restrictions under their strict interpretation of Islamic law.
Women have borne the brunt of these harsh measures. The Taliban have decreed they should be dressed in a way that only reveals their eyes, and must be accompanied by a male relative if they are travelling More Than 72km (48 miles).
Teenage girls and women have also been barred from entering school and university classrooms, gyms and parks.
Last week all hair and beauty salons across the country were ordered to shut on The Taliban 's orders, after being deemed un-Islamic.
