About 300 Afghan women wearing full-face veils staged a pro-Taliban protest at a university lecture theatre in Kabul Saturday. The women—who wore dresses covering head-to-toe as per the Taliban's new policy—sat in rows waving the Taliban's flag, pledging commitment to the group's gender segregation policies. This comes days after many Afghan women protested on the streets of Kabul, opposing the Taliban's gender-biased rules.
