Sources have informed Afghanistan International that the Taliban's Ministry of Justice has closed a Shia mosque in Darulaman, Kabul, citing the government ownership of the mosque's land.

According to the sources, several worshippers protesting against the Taliban’s Ministry of Justice's decision have also been arrested.

Sources stated that on Monday evening, July 3, Taliban Ministry of Justice forces stormed the Bab-ul-Hawaij Mosque on Hesabdari Street, Sanatorium Road, Darulaman, during evening prayers.

The forces evicted the worshippers and sealed the entrance doors.
It was reported that several worshippers and local residents who protested against the Taliban's actions were detained and taken to an unknown location.

Furthermore, a document obtained by Afghanistan International reveals that the Taliban's Ministry of Justice has informed local residents that they have illegally occupied approximately 24 acres of land.

The Ministry of Justice described the residents' ownership documents as fraudulent and has urged them to appoint legal representatives to pursue the case in court.
The Taliban's closure of the Shia mosque follows previous actions, including declaring the lands of Tamadon TV, the Khatam-ul-Nabieen Mosque, and university on Darulaman Road as usurped, with orders for their confiscation.
