This additional restriction comes as women and girls in Afghanistan are facing increasingly draconian attacks on their rights that affect all areas of their lives.
It was a welcome sight to witness @namataik_ , @cdegwenzi ,Jameson Timba and several of the detained #Avondale78 in good spirits despite the somber atmosphere as they made their way back to remand today.
