KABUL (Khaama Press): Sources report that Manijeh Seddiqi, a women’s rights activist and one of the protesting women, was arrested by the de facto administration 15 days ago.
On Monday afternoon, Leila Basim, a member of the leadership of the grassroots women’s protest movement in Afghanistan, announced in a message to Khaama Press News Agency that the Taliban forces had detained Manijeh Sediqi from the Kart-e-Naw area of Kabul last month.
According to Ms Basim, “Manijeh Seddiqi’s family tried to keep her detention a secret for these 15 days to resolve the matter through tribal elders, but their efforts have been unsuccessful.”
The reason for Ms Seddiqi’s detention is unclear, and the Taliban government has not provided any information.
Manijeh Seddiqi is the third grassroots women’s protest member to be held in custody for some time. Previously, the Taliban administration detained Neda Parwani, her child, husband, and Julia Parsi in the capital, Kabul, Afghanistan.
Women’s protest movements and civil society activists in Afghanistan have launched a campaign on social media in response to the news of Manijeh Seddiqi’s detention, calling on the current Taliban regime to release the detained activists.
