The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Ajmal Haqiqi, a famous Afghan fashion model and YouTuber, and his colleagues were arrested for allegedly disrespecting "Islam and Afghan culture" in a recent video. The witty and cheerful fashionista is known for showcasing his funny and entertaining takes on ethnic Afghani fashion and lifestyle in his videos. In a widely circulated video, Haqiqi is seen laughing as his protégé Ghulam Sakhi uses his speech impairment for comedic effect while reciting verses of the Quran. That video was deleted on June 5th and replaced with an apology, but it failed to satisfy the Taliban. Two days later, Haqiqi appeared distraught as he was held captive in two short videos released by the Afghan General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI). Haqiqi was made to apologize in one of the videos. On June 8th, responding to the arrests, a statement was released by Amnesty International, demanding the release of Haqiqi and his colleagues. Since August 2021, the Taliban has detained numerous individuals without trial and coerced them into making forced statements to suppress criticism in the country and prevent others from voicing their opinions.
