National Resistance Front, Herat: As the protest in response to the Taliban banning girls and women from education continue in Herat, the Taliban beat the women and used cold water to disperse them.
These brave girls came out to the streets today, but their protests were violently suppressed by the Taliban.
The women in Afghanistan have been staging protests and demonstrations and are not giving up despite the increased pressure and brutality by the Taliban.
The Taliban have blocked the roads leading to the governor's office.
The women are chanting the slogan "Respect the Qur'an and do not deprive the women of their rights to education."
At the same time, large protest gatherings of girls and women are being held in several other provinces due to the closure of schools and universities.
