Amnesty International: news from Afghanistan

Amnesty International: 2001 Annual Report on Afghanistan
Forced displacement ... ban on women's right to education, employment and freedom of movement ... detention and torture ... unfair trials, cruel punishments and the death penalty
Reports (and pictures) of some of the Taliban's atrocities committed against Afghans, posted by The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), a women's resistance organization:
On Jan. 22,1996 a lady was hit by Taliban vehicle. People went to governor of Herat for investigation. The governor said that "we keep telling you that women don't have the right to go outside their houses. If she was a man we could investigate the case. It is a good lesson to other women not to go outside of their houses. WOMEN IN THEIR HOUSES OR IN THE GRAVE."
