The telling story is that the women are not treated any differently now than they were during either the pre-Soviet occupation, or the Soviet and their puppet governments and now under the Taliban regime. The website has some disturbing videos of the public executions <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/comments.mefi/6542#61498">mentioned in this MetaFilter thread</a>. (I have not watched the videos.) post:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.6964 Thu, 12 Apr 2001 18:15:00 -0800 tamim womensrights afghanistan sexism feminism http://www.metafilter.com/6964/Revolutionary-Association-of-the-Women-of-Afghanistan-RAWA#68481 tamim, thanks for this link. It's a tragedy what happening to the great and ancient country of Afghanistan. I feel it must be a little like hearing the reports that were emanating from Cambodia in 1976. Unfortunately no one in the West seems to care, evidently American spy planes are far more interesting. comment:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.6964-68481 Fri, 13 Apr 2001 04:41:06 -0800 lagado
