Two women have been shot dead by Taliban security forces during a rare protest in central Kabul, sources confirm. The demonstrators, numbering around 30, had gathered outside a former girls' school demanding the right to work and study. Witnesses report the Taliban opened fire without warning after the crowd refused to disperse.
The killings mark the first fatal crackdown on a women's protest since the Taliban seized power in August 2021. A leaked internal document reveals the Taliban's leadership had authorised the use of 'all necessary force' to suppress any unauthorised gatherings. This morning's bloodshed underscores the regime's unwavering commitment to erasing women from public life.
The international community has condemned the attack, but with no diplomatic recognition, their words carry little weight on the ground.
