Afghan police broke up a demonstration by men protesting Taliban morality police actions against women not wearing hijabs or burqas in the western city of Herat. The protest escalated into violence according to witnesses. The demonstration represented a rare instance of men publicly opposing the Taliban's strict enforcement of dress codes for women, which has become a cornerstone of the group's governance since returning to power in 2021.
