 Cherie Blair, the wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, was in Afghanistan yesterday for a series of meetings focused on judicial reform and women's empowerment, the British Embassy said. Blair, a human rights lawyer, met President Hamid Karzai and also his wife, Zinat, on her daylong trip from Pakistan. "During both meetings she discussed a variety of issues, including human rights in Afghanistan, reform of the justice sector, and empowerment of women," the embassy said in a statement.
| I wonder if she said anything about freedom of religion? |
Blair visited a girls' school and chaired a discussion at the embassy on human rights and justice that was attended by the head of the Afghan human rights commission and UN officials. |
