Yesterday, the #Taliban abducted 3 Hazara women protestors - Elaha, Nadia, Azadah - & their brother from their home in Kabul. Their whereabouts are unknown. Manizha Sediqi, a woman protester, remains in Taliban prisons. The Taliban's attacks on civic activists must end.

Today marks the start of the academic year in #Afghanistan , 915 days since the Taliban's shameful ban on secondary education. As a result, Afghan girls continue to be banned from secondary & higher-level education. The #Taliban must reverse this policy & all edicts against women.

'[Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu] should be released immediately, along with all the journalists and political prisoners. If not, global negotiators...should call out Azerbaijan’s human rights abuses and not allow COP 29 to be a prestige-building moment.' #FreeGubad washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
