The police incarcerated You have the right to remain silent... three men in connection to her rape. But Gul claimed that one of the rapists has been released from the jail by the support of some members of Parliament. "The Attorney General's office wants to send the case back to Bamyan but we want it to be followed here in Kabul in order to prevent attempts for the release of two other rapists," Gul said. Her brother, Ghulam Sakhi, also claimed that some members of Parliament were trying to release the two other rapists. "The offenders have trampled our prestige," Sakhi said.
