The Taliban confirmed the report of four women killed in North Afghanistan

Kabul: Four women were found dead in the northern city of Mazar-I-Sharif, a spokesman for the Afghan Taliban government said on Saturday, following the report that activists had been killed.
Two suspects were arrested after four bodies were found in a house in the fifth police station, a foreign ministry spokesman, Qari said Khosti said in a video statement.
“The people who were arrested have recognized the initial interrogation that women were invited to their homes.
Further investigation was ongoing and this case was referred to the court,” he said.
Khosti did not identify the victims, but the source at Mazar-I-Sharif told AFP that at least one of the dead was an activist of women’s rights, whose family did not want to talk to the media.
A report on BBC Persia, citing sources of civil society, said the four women were friends and colleagues who hoped to travel to Mazar-i-Sharif Airport for flights out of the country.
The source of the rights group told AFP with the terms of anonymity that women receive calls they thought were invitations to join flights of evacuation and picked up by cars, only to be inhabited later.
The Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan in August after the 20-year war against the former government supported by the US, was a very conservative Islamic movement.
Under the last period of their female regulations are prohibited in public life and due to the return of the group to the government many rights activists have left the country.
Some women who still have road protests in Kabul demand that their rights respected and that girls are allowed to attend public high schools.
Taliban fighters have broken several protests, and the government has threatened to capture any journalists who cover unauthorized meetings.
But the leaders of the movement insisted that their fighters were not authorized to kill activists and promised that anyone who would be punished.
