The Taliban beat up the protesters, including women and journalists, who were demanding that schools be opened for girls.

Dozens of women and journalists protested in Kabul against the Taliban over economic problems and the closed schools for girls.

The all-women protest which was staged in front of the ministry of education, turned violent when the Taliban started beating journalists and women, Khaama Press reported.

Though the protest was peaceful to begin with and the Taliban allowed the protestors to walk from the ministry of education to the ministry of finance, it turned violent later.

The women asked the Taliban not to politicize education and demanded their rights to work and education, Khaama Press reported.
