ICC unseals arrest warrants for Taliban education ministers

The International Criminal Court has unsealed arrest warrants for senior Taliban leaders. According to the Winnipeg Free Press, four leaders are accused of the crime against humanity of gender persecution against women, girls and members of the LGBTQI+ community in Afghanistan since the Taliban seized power in 2021.

The arrest warrants relate to the banning of women, as reported by Punch and Punch Nigeria, though the number of Taliban education ministers named is not consistently reported.
