Dozens of Afghan women marched through the streets of Kabul on Tuesday before their protest was forcibly broken up by Taliban militants. The group of around 30 women chanted “justice” repeatedly as they marched from a mosque to protest the slayings of US allies and ex-Afghan soldiers, who have become targets of Taliban death squads.
AFP reports that the procession went for several hundred yards before Taliban militants intervened to break it up. According to the report, the women were protesting the Taliban crackdown on former Afghan military service members who helped US forces before the withdrawal.
“The Taliban also tried to prevent journalists from covering the march, organised against the “mysterious murders of young people, particularly the country’s former soldiers”, according to social media invitations,” AFP reported.
“Taliban fighters briefly detained a group of reporters and confiscated equipment from some photographers, deleting images from their cameras before returning them.”
Since taking over the country in August, following Biden’s disastrous withdrawal of US forces, the U.S.-terror imposed group has imposed an iron fist over Afghanistan. Protests against the militant group have been violently stopped.
“I want to tell the world, tell the Taliban to stop killing. We want freedom, we want justice, we want human rights,” said protester Nayera Koahistani to the AFP. “Women's rights are human rights. We must defend our rights.”
The female protesters also raised their objections to the increasing restrictions against women by the Taliban. Over the weekend, the terrorist organization issued guidelines banning women from long-distance travel unless escorted by a male relative.
Human rights organizations and the United Nations have reported numerous credible claims that the Taliban has performed and continues to perform extrajudicial killings throughout the country with door-to-door searches in Kabul searching for former government officials, soldiers, and volunteers who helped the US military.
The terrorist group, which promised a “peaceful” transfer of power and rights for women, have not made good on their promises to take a softer, kinder approach to ruling Afghanistan.
