FRANCE 24 spoke to prominent Afghan women’s rights activist Mahbouba Seraj, on the day the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor announced that he was seeking arrest warrants against senior Taliban leaders over the persecution of women in Afghanistan, calling it a “crime against humanity”. The move is “long overdue”, Seraj reacted. She went on to say that Afghan women “have been suffering since the minute the Taliban arrived”. “Nothing was being done,” she added.
