On June 9, brave residents of Herat protested the arrest of women by the Taliban's morality police in the city of Jibrayil, Herat Province. This popular demonstration in Jibrayil once again demonstrated the deep gulf that separates the people's hopes for a free life from the repressive policies of those in power. --- The women and men who took to the streets under the slogans of "Bread, Work, Freedom" made no demands beyond the most basic human rights: the right to live in dignity, the right to work, the right to freedom, and the right to participate in determining their own destiny.
According to available information, at least two people were killed and dozens injured as a result of violent clashes with demonstrators. At the same time, many of the injured did not seek medical attention for fear of being identified and arrested. This situation threatens not only the right to freedom of peaceful demonstration, but also the right to medical care and safety. We stand with those who, without resorting to violence, raise their voices for freedom, social justice, equality, and human dignity.
The voice of the women of Herat is the voice of a people who, under the most difficult circumstances, are defending their right to a free life. Therefore, we call on anarchists around the world, free media, grassroots organizations, social movements, and conscious people everywhere to pay attention to the situation in Herat, to trust the victims' accounts of repression, and not to remain indifferent to the trampling of the rights and fundamental freedoms of the Afghan people.
