A group of Afghan women marched the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital on Tuesday to demand the right to education following the expulsion of female students from the Kabul University dormitory.
According to media reports, the few dozen of women were carrying signs reading: “Education is our red line” and rending chants that the world has forgotten them under the Taliban.
In a report published by France 24, the peaceful protest, however, was dispersed and the women were removed from the area by the Taliban, who warned them about the risk of attack.
“Once again, the Taliban prevented us from demonstrating by insulting and threatening us,” one of the protesting women said.
“Unfortunately, the Taliban threatened us with explosion and suicide bombing,” she added.
