Afghan women protest against foreign recognition of Taleban
Apr 30, 2023
Kabul [Afghanistan], April 30: Afghan women protested in Kabul on Saturday, defying a crackdown on dissent to urge foreign nations not to formally recognize the Taleban government ahead of a UN summit next week. Since the Taleban surged back to power in 2021, protesters voicing opposition against creeping curbs on women's rights have been beaten or detained, and security forces have fired in the air to disperse some rallies. But small groups of women have continued to stage sporadic gatherings.
