Taliban on Saturday violently dispersed a protest for rights in Kabul.
According to BBC, on Saturday about 40 women marched through Kabul chanting demands for "bread, work and freedom." The Taliban reacted violently and dispersed the protest by firing into the air to disburse them and seized their mobile phones.
"They didn't beat us much this time. They acted differently than earlier protests [when we were beaten]. They fired shots in the air. Though we're afraid we came out to advocate for the rights of girls, so that at least the Taliban will open schools for them," a protesters told the news outlet.
A media report also said that the fighters also chased some women protesters and beat them with their rifle butts.
"The Taliban from the intelligence service came and fired in the air," another protester said.
Currently, the Taliban have banned girls from receiving secondary education. Moreover, women are also not allowed to work in many cases. Consequently, many international human rights organisations and the United Nations have repeatedly criticised the Taliban government for imposing the restrictions on women.
