Boycott is justice for the Afghan female cricket players. The men's team is promised 17 USD millions annually, where Afghan female athletes are promised 100 lashes by the Taliban if they play sports!

"I was happy to see that some MPs in the UK came together and recognised the Taliban's harsh treatment of women." Friba Rezayee, the first female Afghan Olympian, tells Yalda Hakim a boycott of Afghanistan's national cricket team would be "justice". trib.al/zff6Z7W

The Taliban are doing what they want to do. Why are England and the British team making excuses for them? #boycotttheTalibanteam

Agreed. Afghans helped the American troops during their tour in Afghanistan. They were their eyes and ears. They also played an important role in supporting American values. They want to come to the United States because they want to contribute. #visasforAfghans

For immediate release! Shutting down the USAID funding was wrong. It has a devastating impact on Afghan women's education. Now both the Taliban and the US have shut down education for them. USA TODAY Education Cannot Wait Elon Musk you CAN undo this!

Together with other UN experts, I urge the Taliban to immediately stop their capital & corporal punishments, including floggings (210+ people since start of 2025). Turning executions into public events is indefensible. See full statement below 👇 #Afghanistan
