Afghan Women’s News Agency – The Afghan Women’s Movement for Equality, led by Zarifa Yaqoubi, a women’s rights activist and a former prisoner of the Taliban, protested the continuation of the suppression of women’s rights activists by the Taliban during a protest gathering and demanded the release of protesting women from the Taliban prisons.
In the statement published in the protest gathering of these protesting women, it is stated that the world and the people of Afghanistan have repeatedly witnessed the heinous and violent acts of the Taliban group in connection with the peaceful protest and civil activities of the brave and protesting women of the country, but they remained silent about it.
They added: “The Taliban group, which is now the rulers of Afghanistan, has imprisoned, tortured and mysteriously murdered hundreds of women’s rights activists since coming to power. Neda Parwani, Zhulia Parsi and Manizha Seddiqi are among the protesting and civil-minded women who are in an unknown fate in the violent prison of the Taliban intelligence group.”
The Afghan women’s movement for equality asked the international community and human rights organizations to release these three women’s rights activists from Taliban prisons.
These protests are while Zhulia Parsi, a member of the leadership of the Spontaneous Women’s Movement of Afghanistan, and Neda Parwani and Manizha Seddiqi, members of this movement, have been in Taliban prison for almost a month.
