The Taliban have arrested four men who hit protesters and held journalists at gunpoint to break up a women's rights' demonstration in Kabul on Saturday, the spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said.

The demonstration came amid fierce fighting in Panjshir valley, the last holdout of anti-Taliban forces from the fallen government, and as Afghanistan waits for the country's new rulers to reveal how they plan to govern.
