In a statement, he declared that the escalating pressure on women and their widespread arrests in Herat cannot be overlooked, and that continuing such behaviors will lead to dire consequences.


Ismail Khan warned the Taliban, emphasizing that history has shown that governments relying on force, suppression, and the humiliation of citizens have been unable to achieve success or sustainability.


He also urged the women and girls of Herat to maintain their resolve and stand firm against the current pressures. According to him, the present conditions will not endure.


This former jihadist commander, in part of his message, described the Taliban’s behaviors as “barbaric, clumsy, and ignorant,” stating that actions which undermine human dignity, honor, and the social standing of citizens have no justification.


He regarded the restrictions—which, he said, are being imposed arbitrarily on women and girls in Herat—as an affront to the dignity and sanctity of this city’s people, adding that promoting religious teachings through incorrect and unprincipled means will yield nothing but diminished trust and a weakening of religious beliefs in society.


Ismail Khan, pointing to Afghanistan’s widespread problems—including poverty, lawlessness, the absence of accountable governance, and tyranny—said that pressuring women not only fails to resolve any issue but also constitutes a form of humiliation for the people of Herat.


In conclusion, he stressed that the honor and dignity of the Afghan people is a red line, and that silence in the face of the injustice inflicted upon women equates to turning one’s back on national identity and values. He also addressed the girls of Herat, telling them that their voices echo the awakened conscience of society.

Mohammad Ismail Khan, a prominent Afghan jihadist figure, has reacted to the Taliban’s arrests and treatment of women in Herat, describing these actions as unacceptable.
