Taliban Brutality / The savagery of the Taliban came to the fore again! Gave poison to 80 girls at once

Taliban brutality: Anti-women atrocities in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan are not taking the name of stopping. A shocking case of vandalism has come to light in the Taliban. On 4 June, around 80 girls were poisoned in two separate attacks at primary schools in Sar-e-Pul province in northern Afghanistan. All the girls had to be admitted to the hospital after their condition deteriorated due to the effect of poison. A local education officer confirmed the incidents of poisoning of girls. The education officer said that the person who gave the poison had personal enmity. The officer did not elaborate on the incident. A total of 80 girl students were poisoned in Sar-e-Pul's Sangcharak district, according to Mohammad Rahmani, head of the provincial education department.

He said that 60 students were poisoned at Naswan-e-Kabad Ab School and 17 others were poisoned at Naswan-e-Faizabad School. "The two primary schools are close to each other and were targeted one after the other," he said. "We shifted the students to the hospital and they are all fine now."

After replacing the government of democratically elected President Ashraf Ghani in Kabul in August 2021, the globally unrecognized Taliban government has made it a matter of policy to eliminate the rights and freedoms of Afghan women and girls. But this is the first time that such a large number of girls have been fatally attacked in Afghanistan.

Soon after coming to power, the Taliban banned girls from attending school beyond the sixth grade. In December 2022, the government also banned women from attending university. Afghan women themselves, victims of Taliban tyranny, described harrowing scenes of expulsion from classrooms and universities in December 2022.

On the poisoning incident, Rahmani said that the investigation of the department is going on and preliminary inquiry shows that someone has hatched this conspiracy to carry out the attacks with malice. He did not give any information about how the girls were poisoned. Rahmani did not give their age but said that they are from class 1 to 6.
