Taliban officials publicly smash phones in defiance of smartphone ban
Afghanistan police and some officials have begun smashing their phones in public, following a Taliban leader's order to restrict the use of smartphones by civil servants. The move is seen as a sign of loyalty to the leader.
Earlier, Taliban leader Haibatullah Akhundzada was reported to have ordered a ban on the use of smartphones by civil servants. Violators could face military court, but the exact punishments have not been disclosed.
