A protest in western Afghanistan's Herat city against the arrest and detention of women over alleged dress code violations turned violent on Tuesday, with reports indicating that at least three people were injured after security forces intervened.

Women nationwide must be completely covered when they leave home, with many wearing a flowing abaya robe along with a Muslim headscarf and a face covering.
