In another video, Yaseen talked about open gun markets in Afghanistan and shared a video of the regime inviting him for lunch.
He also shared another video talking about the life of women under the regime.
Since taking over Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban have strictly restricted the rights and freedoms of women and girls through bans on education and work. The regime has said that they respect women's rights in line with their interpretation of Islamic law and local custom.
On September 12, the UN rights chief accused the Taliban of a "shocking level of oppression" of women and girls and said human rights in Afghanistan were in a state of collapse.
“Human rights in Afghanistan are in a state of collapse, acutely affecting the lives of millions of women, men, girls and boys,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
“The shocking level of oppression of Afghan women and girls is immeasurably cruel,” he added.
