Reports of a second instance of missing women rights’ activists–two more were allegedly abducted this week–have sparked international reactions, with many public figures and organizations demanding information about the fate of these women who have gone missing.
The US special envoy for Afghan women, Rina Amiri, said that if the Islamic Emirate seeks legiti-macy from the world and the people inside Afghani-stan, it must respect the human rights of the Af-ghans.
Zahra Mohammadi and Mursal Ayar are the two female activists who went missing two days ago. Over two weeks ago, Tamana Paryani and Parwana Ibrahimkhil went missing.
“These unjust detentions must stop. If the Taliban seek legitimacy from the Afghan people and the world they must respect Afghans’ human rights – especially for women – including the freedom of expression and immediately release these women, their relatives and other activists,” Amiri said on Twitter.
Some women’s rights activists called on the interna-tional community to take serious steps to release of the detained female activists. —Agencies
