Four women activists in Afghanistan have been released by the country’s “de facto authorities” after going missing weeks ago, the UN said on Sunday. Since storming back to power in August, the Taliban have cracked down on dissent by forcefully dispersing women’s rallies, detaining critics and often beating local journalists covering unsanctioned protests.
