Sources: Taliban Arrest Women’s Rights Activists in Kabul.
Zuhal Fazel, a women’s rights activist, was arrested by the Taliban on Sunday, 8 March 2026, in the city of Kabul.
Local sources report that Taliban members raided her home in the Chaharahi Barki area and took her away.
According to these reports, the arrest operation was carried out suddenly and Ms. Fazel’s family has no information about the reason for her detention or her fate.
Sources say that this action is part of the continuing pressure by the Taliban on women’s rights activists in Afghanistan.
So far, the Taliban have not issued any statement regarding the arrest of Zuhal Fazel, and their silence has increased concerns about the security and legal situation of women activists in Afghanistan.
