Weekly Jade-Abresham(silk way): Local sources say a student girl aged 17 has killed herself in west of Kabul.
The local sources say the girl has jumped down from a market in Dasht e Barchi and died in a move to protest the school ban by the Taliban.
This comes as dozens of girl students have protested the decision of the current government to ban girls in grades 7-12 from going to school and have advocated for reopening girl schools.
The Taliban Ministry of Education had pledged to open girl schools on March 22, but they closed the school doors on the girls on the same day. The girls returned home sad and concerned as the Ministry of Taliban had announced school ban for girls in grades 7-12 will continue until the next announcement and when their dress is designed according to the Sharia and Afghan cultural values, then the girls would be allowed to attend their classes.
