| [ElPais] Fawzia, a 17-year-old medical student, has been in hiding in Kabul for a month and believes the fundamentalists used her enrollment records to track her down. Fawzia is 17 years old and has been hiding out in a shack in Kabul for almost a month. The future for this teenager, who uses a pseudonym, dimmed in late 2022 when the Taliban ...Arabic for students... banned Afghan women from attending universities. In a video call from Kabul, the first-year medical student told EL PAÍS how on December 20 she was summoned to a classroom for a surprise exam. She realized it was a ruse when she saw that only people there were young women... and the Taliban. After informing the students that they could no longer continue their studies, the fundamentalists "began to select the students they liked, including me, and told us that we had to marry them." Fawzia managed to escape and return home, but hours later, the Taliban broke into the house and demanded that her parents give up their daughter. |
