Afghan Men Arrested for Peaky Blinders-Inspired Outfits
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Four men in Afghanistan, inspired by the TV show Peaky Blinders, were arrested by the Talibans morality police for violating Islamic values and Afghan culture. Their arrest highlights the strict cultural enforcement under the current regime. The men, part of the Thomas Shelby Group, were seen in flat caps and trench coats, mimicking the 1920s gangster style. One of the detained men apologized, promising not to repeat the act. However, such acts of cultural expression are part of a broader pattern of creative resistance by Afghans against the Talibans severe restrictions. Despite the Talibans harsh measures, including banning women from education and public places, young Afghans continue to find ways to express dissent and push back against the regimes rules, often using social media as a platform.
