The Guardian: Taliban gunmen have raided the homes of women’s rights activists in Kabul, beating and arresting female campaigners in a string of actions apparently triggered by recent demonstrations. Tamana Zaryabi Paryani and Parawana Ibrahimkhel, who participated in a series of protests held in Kabul over the last few months, were seized on Wednesday night by armed men claiming to be from the Taliban intelligence department.
Afghan women are turning to a new form of protest staging events inside their homes to press for their rights under the new Taliban regime. The move comes after the militants violently cracked down on female protesters in Kabul, including beating and detaining women.
