Eight Detained in Jowzjan Province for Gambling and Drug Use
The Jowzjan police command announced that security forces have detained eight individuals in the Aqcha district of the province on charges of gambling and drug use.
According to a statement released by the agency, these individuals were arrested by security forces while gambling and using crystal methamphetamine inside a residential house.
No further details have been provided regarding the identities of those arrested or their legal status. The Taliban administration has yet to clarify to which judicial body these individuals have been referred and how their cases will be processed.
Gambling and drug use are among the activities prohibited by the Taliban administration, which has frequently reported arrests related to these offenses. However, experts consistently stress the need for transparency in arrest procedures and the protection of the legal rights of the accused.
