Taliban terrorists shoot 21-year-old Afghan girl dead for not wearing veil

​By a Staff Reporter: An official said on Wednesday, August 4, that Taliban terrorists shot a young girl for not wearing a veil. She was being driven to the Balkh district center in Afghanistan when she was dragged from her car by Taliban gunmen, Afghanistan Times reported. Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, has denied these claims. Afghan women have been subjected to repressive laws and policies that date back to the Taliban's 1996-2001 rule when they imposed their version of Islamic Sharia law. Bezhan and Sarwar wrote that the Taliban forces women to cover themselves from head to toe, prohibits them from working outside the home, severely limits girls' education, and requires women to be accompanied by a male relative when they leave their homes.
