Kabul Women Protest
Afghanistan: Women demonstrate in Kabul over restriction imposed on their rights
Kabul: Women protesters took to the streets of Kabul on Sunday to agitate against restrictions on the rights of women, as well as to call attention to the recent killing of two women, media reports said.
Protestors told Tolo News that three high-profile women have been taken into custody by the Islamic Emirate.
Activists claimed the Islamic Emirate used “tear gas” to stop the demonstration, the news portal reported.
The Taliban government did not comment on the issue so far.
According to the protestors, three women were taken into detention during a demonstration in the northern province of Balkh. The three women have yet to be released, the protestors told Tolo News.
“(The protest is) for the Sake of Zainab Abdulahi and Zainab Ahmadi, those who were killed in the night without committing any crime,” said a protester.
“While I am alive and have one drop of blood in my body, we will stand, we will fight. The bullet that hit the Hazara Girl’s chest- hit my chest as well,” another protester said.
