Kabul: Women demonstrated in Kabul city on Thursday against Taliban rule for not opening the doors of schools for girls, media reports said on Friday.

The all-women protest which was staged in front of the ministry of education, turned violent with the Taliban as the latter started beating journalists and women, reported Khaama Press.

Though the protest was peaceful and the Taliban allowed the protestors to walk from the ministry of education to the ministry of finance, it turned violent later, the news agency reported.

Eyewitnesses told Khaama Press that the Taliban fighters policing the demonstration beat a foreign and two local journalists after they were scattered.

The women told the Taliban government not to politicize education and demanded their rights to work and education.
