دیشب در ژنیف فراموش کرده بودم آوازخوان استم و دیدم مردم بهجای من خواندند و صدای من شدند! ما دیدیم و مردم هم یقین حاصل کردند که “موسیقی هرگز نمیمیرد” و افغانستان بیدار خواهد ماند! pic.twitter.com/7CApecIXIa

The event was titled “Music For Conscience.”
“Women and young girls experience group rape and physical torture in Afghanistan; there is no respect for basic women’s rights or education. Musicians have been tortured, shot, and have been stopped from producing any music at all. The Taliban have been destroying musical instruments and torturing local musicians in public,” the singer was quoted as saying by ANI.
