| Protests for slain Afghan woman continue to grow |

| [AA.TR] The face of Farkhunda, a 27-year old woman killed by a mob last week, decorated the masks worn by some of the 2,000 Afghans who protested against her murder on Tuesday. The demonstrations against her death, sparked by false accusations of her burning a copy of the Koran, have begun to grow into a movement against conservative representations of Islam within Afghanistan. Angered women, joined by male protesters and civil society activists, braved heavy rain and the fear of an attack on their protests to gather outside Afghanistan's Supreme Court and demand justice for Farkhunda. |
