Kabul Residents Speak of Risk of Beating and Extortion During Mobile Phone Checks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some residents of Kabul say that Taliban forces in certain parts of the city have been checking people\u2019s mobile phones during movement and transit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to them, these actions are carried out without any clear justification, causing concern and discomfort among citizens. <\/strong><\/p>\n
