تظاهرات شماری از فعالان حقوق زن و خبرنگاران در شهر کابل به خشونت کشیده شد. اعتراض کننده‌گان می‌گویند که خشونت پس از آن آغاز شد که نیروهای طالبان مانع رفتن آنان به سوی کاخ ریاست جمهوری شدند. به گفته آنان، طالبان با پاشیدن گاز اشک‌آور مانع ادامه تظاهرات شان شدند.

شما یک خبرنگار محترم هستید. لطفاً برای اعتبار خودتان زمانی که صفحهی ۴۳۴ را نشر کردید صفحهی ۴۳۵ را نیز باید نشر می‌کردید. به روشنی نوشته شده که استاد ربانی شهید، مخالف پیش‌نویس این قانون بود و به همین دلیل آنرا امضا نکرد..
رهبران سیاسی در افغانستان اکثرا بسیار دیدگاه‌های کوتاه مدت به قضایایی این کشور داشته/دارند. مثلا در زمان حاکمیت برهان‌الدین ربانی، در خزان سال ۱۳۷۲ زمانی که اولین کمیته متشکل از ۴۴ نفر برای تدوین قانون اساسی شکل گرفت، در آنجا برای دختران تا صنف۶ حق تحصیل داده بودند.۱/۲

For 20 years we were drowing in our own blood because of your attacks. Please don't speak about human rights, you have too much blood on your hands.
Continuing to keep sanctions on Afghanistan is not protection of human rights but punishment of the common people. I draw, to this, attention of all including advocates of human rights.
