Didn't know of #IsmailMashal
"The #Taliban arrested university professor Ismail Mashal, one of the few men to bravely protest against the move... [He teared] up his academic degrees on live TV. He declared that if his sister and mother couldn’t study, he wouldn’t accept his #education either. Subsequently, he closed down the private university he ran, stating that education should be accessible to all or none at all. Later, he distributed free books to the public in #Kabul using a wooden cart."
@nicol He's an incredibly brave man and we need more like him fighting for women's rights in the country.
@suswatibasu such bravery. What a hero, may his release come soon.
