September 3, 2024,Two women were arrested on 5th Street in Tahmani at 9:20 Pm Kabul time , directly in front of the Firefighters’ Station. The arrests took place under circumstances that are still unclear, but they have already sparked widespread concern among local residents and activists alike.
Eyewitnesses reported a heavy police presence in the area around the time of the arrests. The identities of the women and the reasons for their detainment have not yet been disclosed by authorities. However, this incident has quickly become a point of tension in the community, especially among those involved in social justice and activist circles.
In light of these arrests, individuals are urged to exercise caution. There is a growing concern over the use of communication platforms like WhatsApp, particularly for those in contact with Afghan women activists in Europe. It is strongly advised to avoid using WhatsApp and to halt any ongoing communication with these activists until more information is available.
This advisory comes as part of broader safety measures, given the current climate of heightened surveillance and the risks associated with certain communications. The situation remains fluid, and updates will be provided as more details emerge.
