Police in western Afghanistan opened fire on a protest in the city of Herat on June 9th

with eyewitnesses saying at least three people were injured. The crowd had gathered after more than a dozen women were reportedly arrested over the Taliban’s strict dress code. The Taliban deny the arrests happened — but the UN says it’s "alarmed" by what it called an excessive use of force. Protests are rare and illegal in Afghanistan, where girls are also banned from school beyond primary level.#Afghanistan #WomensRights #HumanRights #News
