Strange exiles; Taliban tortured Hazara girls under the name unbelievers and rejectionists

Silk Way Weekly: In reports developed after Kabul fell the place of Hazara protesters girls’ report cards is empty; those girls who took to the streets protesting Taliban’s restrictions on women and girls and advocated for justice and freedom. But they were tortured under the name of unbelievers and rejectionists. Hazara girls were the first girls who took to streets for seeking justice and stood against the oppression of the Taliban. These girls formed protesting movements and were imprisoned and tortured by Taliban. These girls were also forgotten by the international community.

The displaced Hazara girls experience bitter and painful days in exile; but do not surrender. They raise awareness in exile, write a poem, paint, teach, and take part in athletic events. Arezo Ahmady defeated her competitors from a powerful country and won a gold medal. Zakia Khodadadi, became champion of European para taekwondo in exile. Masoma and Kamila published their collection of poems in Tehran. Three important in area of women (Rokhshana, Nimrokh and Zan Times) are managed by Hazara girls in exile.
