Afghanistan: women held in prison for " moral crimes"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...?newsfeed=true. as long as the president of afghanistan is more concerned about the burnings of a few books, nothing will change. what a shame.

Re: Afghanistan: women held in prison for " moral crimes"
I was actually just reading something similar in my local paper today and felt sick to my stomach. I can't imagine a greater hell than living in a country where you're not considered an equal citizen. I was just reading another article that a woman who suffered an acid attack years ago recently committed suicide...just horrific.

Re: Afghanistan: women held in prison for " moral crimes"Yeah, it was something like perpetrators of acid attacks or forced suicide could be punished with life imprisonment, which is a great step..I guess it was too late for this particular woman.(Original post by Kalb)
