The entire admission documents of an educational institution working for girls in Afghanistan were burned. The founder is an Afghan educationist who set fire to all entry documents to prevent the Taliban from gaining access. They also posted a video of the incident on social media.
Shabna Basij Raziq, the founder of the Afghanistan School of Leadership, set fire to school records after the Taliban came to power. ” As the founder of an educational institution with boarding facilities for girls only, I’m burning all of my students’ records. Not to eliminate, but to protect them and their parents. This is to ensure the safety of the parents and well-wishers of the children, ”Shabna tweeted.
Shabna recounted her experience when the Taliban first came to power. At that time, Taliban terrorists had entered schools and confiscated and destroyed children’s documents. Their purpose was to destroy the evidence that the girls had learned. She explained that she had done it herself so that it would not happen again. She said her goal was not to destroy evidence like the Taliban, but to ensure the safety of children and parents.
It was only after the Taliban stepped down in 2002 that Shabnam led the establishment of a girls-only educational institution. But within 20 years, the establishment was shut down as the Taliban returned stronger. Meanwhile, documents were destroyed to ensure the safety of the children.
