The Taliban in Afghanistan
The Taliban was formed in the early 1990s by an Afghan faction of mujahideen, Islamic fighters who had resisted the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan (1979–89) with the covert backing of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and its Pakistani counterpart, the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate (ISI).
The Taliban’s perversion of Sharia law
The Pakistani government has made itself responsible for the human rights abuses committed by the Taliban by formalising its interpretation of sharia law. It is a moral imperative to challenge such laws that discriminate along sectarian religious lines.
Taliban’s Restrictions on Women
The position of women in Afghanistan has begun to improve. Under the Taliban they were barred from attending school and going out to work. Latest figures from the World Bank say 36% of girls are now enrolled in school - although many do not complete their secondary education and figures from 2007 suggest 52% of women were married by the age of 20.In the Malakand region of Pakistan, the Taliban have started correcting the "moral wrongs" of society by banning women from shopping in public areas, as it is believed to be obscene.
