Shiites to Taliban: Even the Communists Didn't Close Our Mosques and Schools

The protesters said that over the past two months, they have repeatedly approached the Taliban to resolve this issue, but have only heard promises. These protests took place after Taliban Ministry of Justice forces besieged the seminary on September 5 and detained a number of professors and students. Sources say this action was carried out on the orders of Abdul Hakim Haqqani, the Taliban's Minister of Justice.


Previously, the seminary's mosque, Husseiniya, library, and separate women's and men's schools had also been sealed off. The Taliban's Ministry of Justice claims that the seminary's land and building are government property seized illegally and that the center engages in political activities; however, the seminary's board of trustees has rejected this claim, stating that it possesses religious and legal documents and is not affiliated with any political party. The seminary's ownership case is also currently under review in the Taliban's special court.


The Khatam al-Nabiyyin Seminary was established in 2007 in the Darulaman area of Kabul at the initiative of Mohammad Asef Mohseni.



A number of Shia followers and seminary students from the Khatam al-Nabiyyin Seminary in Kabul protested the closure of this center in the presence of the head of the Taliban's Ministry of Justice office. One of the protesters said: "The communists were communists, but they didn't close our mosque and school." Another protester said that for nearly two months, professors and students have been studying and praying in the open air, and asked: "Is praying forbidden? Is praying a sin?"
