Baku-APA. Afghanistan's Interior Ministry has issued a ban on public gatherings of all types for the next 10 days, APA reports quoting AP.
In a statement late Saturday, the ministry, which controls the police, says "any kind of public gathering and demonstration is banned," starting immediately.
The ban follows an attack on a protest march by members of Afghanistan's ethnic Hazara community that killed at least 81 people and wounded hundreds.
The ministry's announcement — which may be seeking to address concerns about sectarian violence — cites Afghan police law and the international covenant on civil and political rights.
