Afghan Taliban reject ‘nonsense' ICC warrants
Afghanistan's Taliban authorities on Tuesday rejected the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants for two senior Taliban leaders over accusations of persecuting women and girls, calling the move 'nonsense.'
'Such nonsense announcements won't affect the strong commitment and dedication to sharia (Islamic law)" of Taliban authorities, spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement, adding that the Taliban government does not recognize the court.
