RASC News Agency: According to reliable sources, Parisa Azada, a dedicated member of the “Afghanistani Women for Justice and Freedom” movement, has been released after enduring 40 days of captivity at the hands of the Taliban. Shamayel Tawana Nasery, a prominent figure within this movement, conveyed to the media that Parisa Azada was released on the morning of Monday, December 25th. As of the present moment, there is an absence of information regarding the well-being of this resilient protester and the terms of her release imposed by the Taliban. Notably, Parisa Azada, a fervent advocate, had been apprehended by the Taliban’s intelligence in the “Dasht-e Barchi” region of western Kabul on November 14.
Based on available intelligence, Parisa Azada stands among the courageous members of the “Afghanistani Women for Justice and Freedom” movement who, in defiance of the Taliban’s oppressive restrictions, have raised their voices in protest following the group’s seizure of power in the country. It is noteworthy that despite Parisa Azada’s release, another formidable female protester, Manizhah Sediqi, remains in the custody of the Taliban. She was detained by the group on October 9, in Kabul and subsequently transferred to prison.
In a more recent development, Zhulia Parsi and Neda Parwani, two additional female protesters, were also liberated from the clutches of the Taliban after enduring several months of confinement. According to reports, the physical and mental well-being of these women has been severely compromised due to various forms of torture inflicted by the Taliban during their time in captivity, necessitating meticulous attention.
These events unfold at a juncture where the group has yet to offer any elucidation or rationale for the detention of these female protesters. Nevertheless, there is a widely held belief that the group is likely imprisoning these women as a consequence of their steadfast opposition to the restrictive policies imposed by the Taliban.
