Taliban faces criticism for new laws and actions in Afghanistan

The Taliban, which governs Afghanistan, is facing international criticism for its treatment of women and for new laws. One new law has been described by critics as legalizing slavery and granting immunity to religious leaders. In a separate development, the Taliban announced the release of a female taekwondo teacher, Khadija Ahmadzada, who had been detained. There are also reports that Taliban members entered a German-run safe house in Afghanistan that was part of a resettlement program.
