RASC News Agency: A number of members of the “Afghanistan Women’s Movement for Justice” in Badakhshan province say that they consonance with Zhulia Parsi and Nida Parwani, two protesting women.
On Saturday, 30 September, members of the movement demonstrated in restricted areas of Badakhshan province against continued violence, detention and maltreatment of women demonstrating against the Taliban regime.
Protesters once again demanded to stop the arrests and torture of protesting women by the Taliban group and said that Zhulia Parsi along with her son and Nida Parwani along with her husband and child should be immediately released from the prison of the Taliban group.
They also said that the international community should recognize gender apartheid in Afghanistan.
These protesters have said that the international community and human rights institutions are indirectly supporting the Taliban group instead of supporting the basic rights of women and girls in Afghanistan.
The members of this movement say that the international community, the United Nations, human rights organizations and other human rights organizations, instead of slogans and publishing ineffective reports, should take serious practical measures to protect women and prevent the current violation of human rights in Afghanistan.
These protesting women have called the silence of the international community and human rights institutions regarding the situation in Afghanistan “unfortunate” and have said that this is a very big disgrace for the whole world.
This is despite the fact that last week the United Nations Security Council held a meeting on the human rights situation in Afghanistan.
Farid Khoja, the representative of Albania, who chaired the meeting, said that the Taliban group has violated all laws, rights and public order for women in Afghanistan.
He added that the current situation that women and girls are experiencing in this country is not acceptable and what is going on by the Taliban group against women is “gender apartheid”.
Meanwhile, Tamana Zaryab Pariani and other women’s rights activists started their sit-in for the second time to recognize gender apartheid in Afghanistan, in Viperfort, Germany, and asked other human rights activists to join this protest movement.
