Taliban have told airlines in Afghanistan that women cannot board domestic or international flights without a male leader, two sources told Reuters Sunday.
The move comes after the Taliban withdrew from their previous commitment to open secondary schools for girls, a twist that shocked many Afghans and drew condemnation from humanitarian agencies and foreign governments.
The United States on Friday cancelled scheduled meetings with Taliban officials on key economic issues due to their decision Wednesday, Klankosova conveys. tv
Sources, which are not mentioned for security reasons, said the Ministry for Spreading Virtue and Prevention of Ves sent an air card to companies Saturday, informing them of the new restrictions.
They added that unaccompanied women who had already booked tickets would be allowed to travel on Sunday and Monday. Several women with tickets were back at Kabul airport on Saturday, they said.
The ministry's spokespersons for the spread of Virtue and the Prevention of Ves and the Ministry of Culture and Information did not immediately respond to the demand for comment.
