Afghans will not tolerate women's removal from society, MP says

In the chaos and uncertainty of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, legislator Farzana Kochai says she fears for her life first and her freedom next, but that Afghans will not tolerate a return to the harshest forms of Islamist rule.

Like other Afghans, she is laying low at home, with no idea how the situation will pan out for elected representatives such as her - or anyone else - under a group that imposed strict Islamic mores and punishments on society when last in charge.
