A former female Afghan judge in hiding from the Taliban in Pakistan appealed to the Home Office as UK entry was denied after colleagues (pictured: Judge Kadria Yasini) were assassinated.
Judge Kadria Yasini, 53, drew her handbag to her chest as she was shot in Kabul
Shots lanced her bag, pierced her chest and left her in pool of blood at the scene
Fellow judge and victim Zakia Herawi, 47, was shot in the face, neck and chest
Assassinations come as the Taliban increasingly target the Afghan liberal elite
High ranking Taliban officials are engaged in peace talks with US officials in Qatar but footmen on Kabul s streets continue to kill with impunity
