Several male students at the Nangarhar University in Jalalabad and at Kandahar University in Afghanistan staged a protest and expressed solidarity with the women. The male students walked out of the examination hall at the University and stood by women's rights in the country.
When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, they imposed a blanket ban on girls' education. It appears the same system will slowly creep into the country led by Islamists.
The Taliban, through their intelligence operations and access to employment records that the former government left behind, have identified new targets for arrest and execution.
