More the n 1000’s woman, grills gathered by support of Afghan Independent human rights commission and civil society’s and international community in a protest against Shiea law in Kabul , woman’s want the democratic law, and the another hand 1000 INDIGNANT mans against woman were gathered by Shiakh Asif Mohsni a clearage of Shiea and they were treating woman’s that they were saying that we are praying god the law is law of Allah. Most of the man’s was threatening the woman’s on the time of protest.
President Karzai has recently signed Qanon-e Ahwal-e Shakhsiah Ahl-e Tashaio, or the Law on Private Matters of the Shiites, a new legislation dealing with the private matters of the Shiite population of Afghanistan. The move has provoked an outcry among the Afghan civil
society and the international community.
A number of articles in the new law contradict the basic
principles of human rights enshrined in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan
and our national obligations under international human rights conventions and treaties,
particularly the Convention for Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
In a Taliban-style provision, this law conditions women s movement outside her house to the consent
of her husband. The law undermines the progress towards realization of human rights, empowers
and institutionalizes a radically hard-line interpretation of the holy religion of Islam and sets a
bad precedent for future conservative legislations and government policies The Afghanistan Watch has been following the debates surrounding the approval of the legislation in the National Assembly Legislation in the National Assembly.
It believes that the law is written in line with the most conservative interpretation of Shiite jurisprudence and many progressive and moderate voices coming out of the Afghan civil society, the Shiite religious scholars and from within the
parliament during the debate over the draft law were ignored and sidelined. The views expressed in the law are dictated by the most conservative and a minority of the Shiite ulema in Afghanistan.

Deurin the protest woman was asking from man’s we want our rights and man’s war said death to human rights, death to Sima Samar.
A woman photographer was said me that a SNAPPISH man attacked on her and asked her we not gave you your rights we fack you and it’s your right.
