Dozens of women from Afghanistan’s minority community protested in the capital Saturday after a su***de bombing a day earlier killed at least 35 people – mostly young women, and all from the Hazara ethnic group. Protesters later gathered in front of the hospital and chanted slogans as dozens of heavily armed Taliban, some carrying rocket-propelled-grenade launchers. According to witnesses; peaceful protesters have been met with an increasingly violent response.

A bomber blew himself up on Friday at a Kabul study hall as hundreds of pupils were taking tests in preparation for university entrance exams in the city’s Dasht-e-Barchi area.

Since returning the Taliban to power, the luck of the state rises threats against Hazara and other minorities. The Hazaras are one of the main ethnic groups in Afghanistan, constituting over 20 percent of the population. The Hazaras have long been subjugated and subjected to discrimination and persecution due to their ethnic and religious identity.

The morning explosion at the center took place in Kabul’s Dashti Barchi neighborhood, an area populated mostly by ethnic Hazaras, who belong to Afghanistan’s minority Shiite community. The Islamic State group has carried out repeated, horrific attacks on schools, hospitals, and mosques in Dashti Barchi and other Shiite areas in recent years.

Around 300 recent high school graduates, boys and girls had come to the Kaaj Higher Educational Center at 6:30 a.m. to take practice exams, said one survivor, 19-year-old Shafi Akbary.

All victims of such terrorist crimes are entitled to be treated with respect, and the International delegation should take action to stop attacks on Hazaras. All the Hazara victims are entitled to considerate, professional, and non-discriminatory treatment adapted to the individual in question.

A su***de bomber struck an education center in a Hazras area of the Afghan capital on Friday, killing 31 people and wounding over 50, including teenagers who were taking practice entry exams for un…

Their pretest is even more compelling in conjunction with the other single most resonant message we heard from them: It isn’t just that we need to defend these rights despite the ongoing crisis; these rights are essential refugee’s efforts to tackle it and survive under the circumstances.

Many refugees cannot go home because of continued conflict, wars, and persecution. Many also live in perilous situations or have specific needs that cannot be addressed in the country where they have sought protection. In such circumstances, UNHCR helps resettle refugees to a third country.

The pictures of four men with stitched mouths in Limbo Indonesia shocked me and everyone else. There’s a reason the old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” has been around as long as it ha…

A woman calls to a friend in Kabul, “I’m really worried I’m not going to be alive tonight.” This means she is sacred and perhaps she needs a safe haven far from the violence! But are there any safe houses in Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover? Are the Taliban willingly jailing the victims?

On the 6th of December, Amnesty International issued a statement expressing concern about the closure of all safe houses in Afghanistan. In a traditional-patriarchal society with a high rate of dom…

During the Taliban Islamic regime in the past and even now, the ethnic groups were severely repressed and in some cases, they were massacred. The situation for the LGBT+ community in Afghanistan has never been easy, fundamentally same-s*x relations have always been taboo and even crimes in the Muslim-majority countries. Under the Taliban regime and so many other Islamic fundamentalist governments – non-heteros*xual relations were illegal and could lead to the death penalty, or even up to years in prison.

Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan at the end of August, the persecution of the country’s LGBT+ community has ramped up – forcing many to live in hiding, fearing for their lives. &…

The two-minute clip shows a group of men throwing stones with increasing intensity at a covered individual crammed in a hole in the ground. A crowd of onlookers are seen capturing the incident on their mobile phones and a woman’s pitiful cries can plainly be heard.

Local official Mohammad Zaman Azimi, in a previous report, blamed Taliban militants for the ex*****on.

Azimi said the woman, identified as 19-year-old Rokhshana, was stoned to death after being accused of having premarital s*x with her fiance, a 23-year-old man named Mohammad Gul, who was reportedly lashed.

RFE/RL’s Radio Free Afghanistan has obtained video footage from an eyewitness that appears to show the brutal stoning last week of a 19-year-old Afghan woman in the central province of Ghor. …
