These institutions have said that the Taliban group does not have any evidence against this female activist; But he refuses to release her and has asked the Taliban group to release Mrs. Siddiqui unconditionally.

At the same time, the intelligence of the Taliban arrested two education activists, Ahmad Fahim Azimi and Sediqullah Afghan, who worked with the organization “Fekr Betar”, on the charge of starting protests and inciting women to demonstrations and cooperating with the team of robotic girls to leave the country in 25 months.
