She stayed in Afghanistan during the Taliban era, working secretly for girls’ education, she stayed in the dangerous Afghanistan of today, and now she’s dead:
Women’s Affairs director, Safia Ama Jan, was killed on the city outskirts [Kandahar] as she left for work yesterday morning. The assailants shot her four times in the head, through a burka, before fleeing.
Ms Ama Jan, 56, has been an advocate for women’s rights in Kandahar, the former Taliban headquarters, since the fundamentalists were ousted five years ago.
