It is caratheristic of oriental mentality to thinks that women have no rights and, then, when a women diversely act, she is a target to strike.
This the essence of what has happened to Fawzia koofi. She know thier acts are for talibans a war declaration and the risk she will ever encounter.
I pray her to continue on her war for women rights, for human rights and done her my solidarity.
Fawzia, be not afraid and prosecute on this actions for done to all women the possibility to be part of society, also if this should no request such risk, being a assodate right.claudio Alpaca
