IEA slams UNAMA report, says it’s ‘an insult to the beliefs of the people’
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has slammed UNAMA’s latest report on the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, saying the organization does not understand Sharia law.
“The fact that UNAMA criticizes these cases or calls clear Islamic rules an act against human rights is an insult to the beliefs and beliefs of a people,” the Islamic Emirate stated.
UNAMA said in its report that there is a lack of clarity regarding the legal framework applicable to complaints of gender-based violence against women and girls in Afghanistan.
On the issue of rights of women and girls UNAMA stated that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) continues “to enforce and promulgate restrictions on women’s rights to work, education and freedom of movement.”
UNAMA stated that the IEA has arrested a substantial number of women and girls predominantly in West Kabul, Dasht e-Barchi, a Hazara-dominated area. Some arrests also took place in Khair Khana, which is mainly populated by people of Tajik ethnicity and communities from Panjshir.
“To date, most of the women detained were released after several hours and upon their mahram signing a guarantee that the female relative will adhere to the hijab decree in future,” the report stated.
The IEA retorted however that a lot of focus in the report has been put on the implementation of Islamic Sharia, “which has the form of criticism of UNAMA’s ignorance of Sharia rules and even in some cases on Islamic rules.”
The IEA however said that they, along “with the support of its people has made great sacrifices for the implementation of the provisions of the Islamic Sharia.”
The IEA said that now that power is in their hands, they “must fully implement all provisions of the Islamic Shari’ah, whether it pertains to men or to women.”
“Women’s hijab, the necessity of Shariah muharram (a male companion) with women, Shariah environment for women’s work and education; Likewise, the application of Shariah punishments by the courts in a Shariah manner; Prevention of intellectual and religious deviation in the society; All are the obligation and duty of a committed Islamic government,” the statement read.
The IEA went on to say: “The Islamic Emirate advises UNAMA not to unnecessarily criticize the religious and important issues of the people of Afghanistan.
“Any work done by the Ministry of Emirate of the Islamic Emirate, the courts or other correctional institutions, is done by the order of the leadership of the Islamic Emirate after a thorough investigation, which is both Sharia and legal, it is neither arbitrary nor encroachment on someone’s right, but on the contrary, the application of these rules leads to oppression and transgression, and the abandonment of Islamic rules leads to the outbreak of corruption, conflicts and wars in the society.”

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu said on Friday that the main threat for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) members emanates from Afghanistan where international terrorist groups find shelter due to unstable and indefinite political situation.
Speaking at a meeting of the SCO defense ministers in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana, Shoygu said Washington has stepped up efforts to restore its positions in Central and South Asia that were lost after the withdrawal of coalition troops from Afghanistan, Anadolu Agency reported.
The military chief called “unacceptable” the deployment of the American military infrastructure in the region, arguing that intentions should be regarded as “a direct threat to stability in the SCO space.”
According to him, the US is trying to impose a new security system in the Asia-Pacific region for dominance.
This comes as the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly emphasized that it does not allow anyone to pose threats to any other country from Afghanistan soil.
Recently, Mohammad Yaqub Mujahid, Acting Minister of National Defense Mohammad Yaqub Mujahid said that no destructive groups including Daesh have physical presence in Afghanistan,
In a statement on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of the victory of the Mujahideen against the then communist government, the Islamic Emirate said that it is a day of freedom of the Afghan nation.
The Islamic Emirate described the coup by People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan on 27th April 1978 as a dark day in history, as a result of which the people of Afghanistan suffered severe human and financial losses.
The statement said that the Afghan nation suffered huge casualties in their 14-year struggle against the thoughts and actions of the communists, as 1.5 million people died and millions more faced various hardships.
“After 20 years of Jihad, our country was freed from another occupation and the Islamic system was established, so the Islamic Emirate will make its utmost efforts so that the fruits of decades of sacrifice and struggle of this nation are not wasted,” the statement said.
“It was the wish of the martyrs to fully implement the Islamic system in the country, and therefore, the Islamic Emirate is trying to facilitate development and prosperity under the shadow of the Islamic system in order to realize the goals of the Afghan people’s jihads,” it added.
