Female Afghan Activist Gang-Raped in Taliban Prison
A female Afghan human rights activist was filmed being gang-raped and tortured by armed men in a Taliban prison, with the video sent to her as a threat to silence her criticism. The footage, obtained by The Guardian and Rukhshana Media, marks the first direct evidence of such crimes in Afghanistan. The victim, arrested for protesting against the Taliban, was repeatedly assaulted by two men at gunpoint, with one assailant stating, 'You've been screwed by Americans all these years, and now it's our turn.' Following the assault, the Taliban sent her the video warning her to cease criticizing the regime or face public exposure. This incident sheds light on the escalating reports of sexual violence against women in Taliban-run prisons, prompting the UN to investigate the matter.
