Fact Check: Video from Iran shared as Afghan women protesting against Taliban in Kabul
India Today
A video of a group of women marching through a street with the Afghan flag is circulating on social media with the claim that they are Afghan women protesting in Kabul. However, India Today found the claim to be misleading.
The world watched in admiration as a handful of women protested against the Taliban in Kabul, even as the group, not exactly known for honouring women’s rights, looked on. The protest came at a time reports of Taliban fighters barring women from joining work and punishing them for dressing “inappropriately” poured in from across the country. These brave women took to the streets in Kabul to protest against Taliban. They simplify asking for their rights, the right to work, the right for education and the right to political participation.The right to live in a safe society. I hope more women and men join them. pic.twitter.com/pK7OnF2wm2 Demonstrators in Qom shame #Taliban supports and chant we don't want "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" pic.twitter.com/sMpj75FjLH In this context, a video of a group of burqa-clad women marching through a street with the Afghan flag is circulating on social media with the claim that it shows Afghan women protesting on the streets of Kabul as Taliban militants look on.More Related News
