On October 5, 2026, the International Criminal Court unsealed arrest warrants for Afghan Education Minister Habibullah Agha and Higher Education Minister Neda Mohammad Nadeem. The warrants charge two senior Taliban officials with crimes against humanity for systematically denying women and girls over 12 their right to education. This action occurred after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, and the warrants were issued following a review of the court's docket. The evidence indicates the charges relate to the denial of educational rights for a specific demographic group within the country.
