Shots fired into air and rifle butts used to attack dozens of women protesting outside Afghan education ministry
Taliban fighters beat female protesters and fired into the air on Saturday as they violently dispersed a rare rally in the Afghan capital, days before the first anniversary of the hardline Islamists’ return to power.
Some female protesters who took refuge in nearby shops were chased and beaten by Taliban fighters with their rifle butts. “If the Taliban want to silence this voice, it’s not possible. We will protest from our homes,” she said.
