Protests Peak Among Afghanistan’s Turks Over Humiliation by Taliban Higher Education Minister
Following the humiliation of Kabul University students by Taliban Minister of Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadeem over wearing a “red hat”—known as the “Sar-e-Puli hat”—a number of Afghanistan’s Turks have reacted by wearing the same hat, describing the minister’s actions as an insult to their identity and culture.
The incident occurred yesterday when a group of Uzbek studies students at Kabul University were collecting trash on campus and were insulted and humiliated by Nadeem for wearing the “red hat.”
Earlier, the Taliban’s Ministry of Higher Education had ordered students to wear either a cap or a turban.

...And it’s why American and international leaders must recommit to supporting Afghan women and increasing pressure on the Taliban. #genderapartheid

This research reflects on the intersectional disadvantage #Uzbek women in Afghanistan face, shaped by gender, linguistic marginalization, geographic distance & ethnic identity. The compound vulnerabilities affecting them & their inclusion in knowledge production. Excellent piece!
Human rights work in Afghanistan cannot be truly fair or complete unless it includes the voices, histories, and knowledge of women from marginalised communities like #Uzbek women. Tokenistic use of intersectionality in human rights discussions on Afghanistan is real, and it must be stopped. A must read for all human rights practitioners in Afghanistan 👇
🟣 Taliban’ın sert ceza düzenlemelerinden sonra Afgan kadınları haykırıyor: ‘Ev hapsindeyiz, bu yavaş bir ölüm’
💬 #EŞiKGönüllüsü ve Afganistan Çalışma Grubu üyesi Nazeela Elmi (@noonaleph); "Taliban’ın uluslararası hukuk önünde hesap vermesi gerektiğine inanıyorum. Bunun için Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi ve Uluslararası Adalet Divanı gibi mevcut mekanizmaların etkin biçimde işletilmesi gerekiyor."
💬 Richard Bennet (@SR_Afghanistan) BM İnsan Hakları Afganistan Özel Raportörü; "Kadınlar ve kız çocuklarının kamusal yaşamdan sistematik biçimde dışlanması; hareket özgürlüğü, çalışma, eğitim ve sağlık hizmetlerine erişimlerine getirilen kısıtlamalarla birlikte ele alındığında bu uygulamalar insanlığa karşı suç teşkil edecek kadar ağırdır."

Very alarming: The Taliban have cut off internet access across Afghanistan. Women I interviewed months ago who relied on online education had already feared this day.
I conveyed their testimonies in my #UNGA80🇺🇳 remarks.
Spending today and tomorrow in Texas with amazing activists from Tibet, Burma, Rohingya, South Korea, Taiwan, Uyghur & more. Grateful to learn together, build solidarity, and strengthen alliances for human rights and freedom.
