RASC News Agency: As the world reacted to the arrest of two women’s rights protester by the Taliban, Mrs. Amiri, US Special Representative for Women and Human Rights, called on the Taliban group to release Mrs. Parwani and Mrs. Zhulia Parsi “as soon as possible”.
On Saturday, September 30, Amiri called for the immediate release of the protesting women and other prisoners who had suffered “similar injustices” from the Taliban group’s prisons in a post on X social media.
Amiri also said that the Taliban group does not have the right to say that life in Afghanistan has gotten better while they are issuing edicts because they have wiped out half of Afghanistan’s population and that there is still a culture of fear and oppression in Afghanistan.
It should be noted that last week, the Taliban group arrested two protesting women from Kabul and transferred them to an unknown place.
During this time, international institutions also demanded the release of these women’s rights activists from the prisons of the Taliban group.
UN Human Rights for Afghanistan Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett previously requested two women’s rights activists in Afghanistan from the Taliban.
Meanwhile, the Taliban group has not responded to any of these demands.
It is important to note that the Taliban have had a long history of detaining and torturing women who demonstrate against their rule in Afghanistan.
