Afghan women protesters urge against foreign recognition of Taliban April 29, 2023 at 02:11AM

Afghan women protested in Kabul on Saturday, calling on foreign nations not to recognise the Taliban government ahead of a UN summit next week. Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, protesters have been beaten or detained for opposing curbs on women's rights. About 25 women marched through a residential area of Kabul, chanting "Recognition of Taliban—violation of women's rights."
