Six-month pregnant Afghan policewoman brutally shot down before her children by Taliban
Kabul: The Taliban in Ghor Province brutally killed an Afghan Policewoman after gunning her down in front of her husband and children.
The information was shared by an Afghan Journalist on social media platform Twitter adding that the policewoman Nigara was six-month-pregnant when she was brutally killed.
Women feared for their lives and started buying headscarves and body coverings to avoid harsh punishments by the Taliban for not abiding by their set of rules, something that the country was used to in the late 90s, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Sunday.
Amid the Taliban taking control of Afghanistan once again after 20 years, dozens of women held protests in Herat carrying banners with slogans demanding rights and female representation in the government, Tolo news reported according to Times of India.
Experts are predicting that women in Afghanistan are most likely to face an uncertain future under the rule of the Taliban.
Dr. Sajjan Gohel, a security and terrorism analyst said that women are scared out of their (Taliban) minds.
"From the Afghan women I've spoken to, it's incredibly traumatic. You're looking at an entire generation who only read about the Taliban in books. Now, they're having to live side-by-side with what is effectively a misogynistic cult." Dr. Gohel was quoted as saying by Times of India.
