Thousands of people have marched in the Afghan capital of Kabul to protest the brutal killing of a woman by an angry mob. Twenty-seven-year-old Farkhunda was beaten with sticks and set on fire after being falsely accused of burning the Qur’an. Demonstrators gathered in front of the Afghan Supreme Court to demand justice.

Najla Habibyaar: “It was one of the most brutal actions in the history of humanity. We have never seen something like her. And at the same time, it was very close to the palace, it was very close to the police officers, but unfortunately there were hundreds of people watching her being killed and taking her movie, but nobody reacted to that.”

Amrullah Saleh: “Those who have endorsed this barbaric act should be brought to justice. Those who have shown incompetence and negligence have to be brought to justice. Those who have endorsed it, either knowingly or unknowingly, should be brought to justice.”
