The Taliban movement (an organization banned in Russia), which seized power in Afghanistan in August last year, decided that mannequins with heads could be equated with idols prohibited in Islam, and ordered to behead them. It is reported by the Sunday Times.

The Taliban's ministry for the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice has mandated shopkeepers in the western province of Herat to bring mannequins into line with Muslim rules. Those who do not fulfill the order will face severe punishment, the ministry warned.

Militants previously promised not to force men to grow beards, despite the recommendation not to shave them. This was reported by the press service of the ministry of conscription, orientation, good command and prohibition of the reprehensible.

Prior to this, Mohammad Sohail Shahin, a representative of the movement, appointed to the post of Afghan Permanent Representative to the UN, called on Russian businessmen to invest in Afghanistan.
