26:01Now PlayingIn a controversial move, Tajikistan, a predominantly Muslim Central Asian nation, has intensified its restrictions on Islamic practices. Following a ban on hijabs in June, the government has now prohibited women from wearing "black clothes" and men from sporting long beards. These measures are part of President Emomali Rahmon's long-standing campaign against what he perceives as radical Islam. The state-backed Council of Ulemas issued a fatwa claiming that black clothing is incompatible with the country's "national and geographical characteristics." Additionally, authorities have detained individuals for wearing hijabs or having long beards, with one official stating that beards are an "expression of solidarity with terrorist groups." These actions have drawn criticism from human rights activists, who view them as violations of religious freedom. As Sulaimon Davlatzoda, head of the State Committee for Religious Affairs, stated, a task force is working to determine "what clothes are most compatible with our national values and traditions," highlighting the government's attempt to control religious expression in the country.
