Taliban declares war on smartphones
Page 7/13

A student at Kabul University said the restriction has also made it harder for students to remain in touch with their families during emergencies. He asked that his name not be used because he has been targeted by the Taliban before and is afraid he would face retaliation for speaking out if they could identify him. His family lives in Badakhshan province, he said, and after a security incident involving students on July 4, his mother was terrified because she could not easily reach him.

"She was so worried," he said. "If something happens, our families need to know whether we are safe. Without our phones, we are cut off from them."
