Taliban forces fired shots into the air to disperse a women’s rally supporting protests in Iran over the death of a woman in the custody of morality police.
Afghan women protested in front of Kabul’s Iranian embassy before being dispersed by Taliban forces firing in the air.
The protests, banned by the Taliban, contravene a slew of harsh restrictions imposed by the hardline Islamists on Afghan women.
The Taliban have forcefully dispersed women’s rallies in the past, warned journalists against covering them, and detained activists helming organization efforts.
