  • Flawed Justice After a Mob Killed an Afghan Woman ­ the New York Times
    12/26/2015 Flawed Justice After a Mob Killed an Afghan Woman ­ The New York Times http://nyti.ms/1NQ4PSX ASIA PACIFIC | WOMEN'S WAR Flawed Justice After a Mob Killed an Afghan Woman By ALISSA J. RUBIN DEC. 26, 2015 KABUL, Afghanistan — Farkhunda had one chance to escape the mob that wanted to kill her. Two Afghan police officers pulled her onto the roof of a low shed, above the angry crowd. But then the enraged men below her picked up poles and planks of wood, and hit at her until she lost her grip and tumbled down. Her face bloodied, she struggled to stand. Holding her hands to her hair, she looked horrified to find that her attackers had yanked off her black hijab as she fell. The mob closed in, kicking and jumping on her slight frame. The tormented final hours of Farkhunda Malikzada, a 27­year­old aspiring student of Islam who was accused of burning a Quran in a Muslim shrine, shocked Afghans across the country. That is because many of her killers filmed one another beating her and posted clips of her broken body on social media. Hundreds of other men watched, holding their phones aloft to try to get a glimpse of the violence, but never making a move to intervene. Those standing by included several police officers. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/27/world/asia/flawed­justice­after­a­mob­killed­an­afghan­woman.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickS… 1/20 12/26/2015 Flawed Justice After a Mob Killed an Afghan Woman ­ The New York Times Unlike so many abuses against Afghan women that unfold in private, this killing in March prompted a national outcry.
