Kandhar, Jan 29: Calling on the religious leaders to condemn the kidnapping a US woman, hundreds of women on Tuesday protested against the abduction of the burqa-clad American aid worker and her driver from a residential area of southern Afghanistan.
At least 500 women were gathered in an auditorium in Kandhar for the demonstration that was organised by the city's women's association.
“We call on Kandhar religious council to condemn this act and encourage the public to help, call on the abductors to release her without any harm or conditions,” demonstrators said in a resolution passed during their meeting.
