Taliban announces closure of all beauty salons in Afghanistan, citing violations of Islamic principles and economic concerns.
The ban is the latest in a series of restrictions imposed by the Taliban on women's rights and freedoms.
A protest against the ban takes place in Kabul but is dispersed by Taliban security forces.
