Taliban Say Ex-Lecturer Calling For Afghan Girls' Access to Universities Detained
KABUL (Sputnik) - The Taliban* have detained former lecturer Ismail Mashal, who called for girls to be allowed to study at universities in Afghanistan, Abdul Haq Hammad, a Taliban representative and senior official at the Afghan Ministry of Information, said on Friday.
Mashal was detained on charges of alleged "provocation of unrest" in Kabul, Hammad wrote on Twitter, adding that the security agency was looking to investigate him.
Media reported that Mashal had resigned as a lecturer a few months ago after the Taliban banned women from attending university. In December, he caused a public storm by tearing his degree certificates on TV to protest against the Taliban's decision and recently started to share books with passers-by.
