Taliban Open Fire on Women Protesting the Islamic Dress Code
The story is all too predictable. What could anyone have expected when women in Afghanistan, of all places, decided to take to the streets to protest the Taliban’s Islamic dress code? The South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) reported recently that “on June 9, at least two people, including a woman and a child, were killed and many others wounded after Taliban opened fire on protesters in Herat city of Herat Province, reports Amu TV. The violence erupted after residents took to the streets to protest the detention of women and girls accused of violating the Taliban’s dress code.”
