“My fight will never end”- Salima Mazari is a leader, role model and Hazara hero. So privileged to try to tell her story with @ZHassani7 (and @MattCReichel). A huge thanks to @Khadimdai for sharing. And, to the team at TIME. https://t.co/xGJsce1IFV

On March 28th, the Taliban arbitrarily arrested education activist @matiullahwesa. Matiullah has been traveling across Afghanistan for over a decade to campaign for girls' right to education. We demand the immediate release of Matiullah and all other civic activists.

Unlike many of us, @matiullahwesa chose to stay in Afghanistan & continued the fight for education, despite threats from the Taliban. He is a strong voice for the country & is a true young leader. Wesa is now jailed by the Taliban. Please join the call for his release. #FreeWesa

[Ali M Latifi 🇦🇫 @alibomaye]

Remember, @matiullahwesa has been speaking out about the lack of proper education access for boys and girls in Afghanistan since the Republic, when funds were stolen/squanderd by corrupt officials. Now, as he continues to campaign for all girls to return to school, he is arrested

[Saad Mohseni @saadmohseni]

Unconfirmed reports indicate that @matiullahwesa a fearless patriot and a relentless advocate for education (of girls and boys) has been arrested by the Taliban authorities in Kabul. We ask for his immediate release. #ReleaseMatiullahWesa

[Lotfullah Najafizada @LNajafizada]

Saddened to hear that legendary @MatiullahWesa, a strong advocate for education, is detained by the Taliban. He’s a threat to no-one, but darkness!

[Ali M Latifi 🇦🇫 @alibomaye]

I first met @matiullahwesa in 2019 in Achin dist, Nangarhar. It had just been freed of Daesh. He and his brother were gathering residents to call for re-opening of girls and boys school (inc those destroyed in fighting). Now, reports he has been arrested by the Islamic Emirate

[Hannah Neumann @HNeumannMEP]

A national hero of #Afghanistan and a friend of mine has been arrested by #Taliban today: Matiullah Wesa.

He brought education to those who long for it, no matter where, no matter who governs there.

We will fight for your release, Matiullah!

“Every case of depression is unique, and every case is to be fought with as much love and endurance and knowledge as can be mustered,” writes @nytdavidbrooks. “But in this particular case, the beast was bigger than Pete; it was bigger than us.” https://t.co/sz6PqcYPRN

There’s no recent precedent for the bills, which seek to ban children from drag performances, block the shows from public venues or force locales that host drag events to register as “adult-oriented businesses,” according to LGBTQ advocacy groups. https://t.co/obQl69I5gp
