لقد كانوا يهلّلون .. يهلّلون فرحا لاعدام فتاة تبلغ من العمر 22 سنة طلقا بالرّصاص بتهمة الزّنا , تهمة لم تثبت أصلا
جزاءها 13 طلقة في الرّأس , مع كلّ طلقة يغمرني احساس بالحقد على كل من وقف يصفّق فرحا لهذا العمل الاجرامي
سؤال يطرح نفسه : مذا فعلوا للزّاني ؟
The film shows the woman being riddled with bullets at close range, in front
of a cheering crowd of men.
اثار شريط فيديو عرض اعدام المرأة في قرية تبعد نحو مئة كلم من كابول،
الصدمة والجدل مجددا حول ظروف النساء في افغانستان بعد عشر سنوات من الوجود
الدولي.
وقال جاي كارني المتحدث باسم الرئيس الاميركي باراك اوباما "عندما كانت
طالبان في السلطة كانت حقوق النساء مهملة ومنتهكة ومستباحة. هذه الجريمة
التي ارتكبت بدم بارد هي تذكير للافغان والمجتمع الدولي بوحشية طالبان".
واضاف كارني خلال مؤتمره الصحافي اليومي ان "الولايات المتحدة متضامنة
مع الافغان وخصوصا الافغانيات، ليس فقط من اجل حماية التقدم الذي انتزعته
النساء بفضل نضالهن الكبير خلال السنوات العشر الماضية، ولكن من اجل دفعه
الى الامام".
واعلنت السلطات الافغانية انها تتعقب الفاعلين الذين قالت انهم من حركة طالبان، من اجل القبض عليهم ومعاقبتهم.
وقال الجنرال جون الن قائد القوات الدولية في افغانستان (ايساف) ان هذه
القوات مستعدة "لمساعدة القوات الافغانية في تعقب مرتكبي هذه الجريمة
البشعة".
وعرض الفيديو الذي دار العالم الاحد صورا مروعة بالفعل عن اعدام نجيبة (22 عاما) بالرصاص.
وتبدو المتهمة التي جلست القرفصاء وهي تستمع الى الحكم عليها بالموت دون
ان تحرك ساكنا او تحاول الفرار. وبالكاد التفتت براسها ثواني في مطلع
التسجيل.
ويظهر في الصورة رشاش كلاشنيكوف وهو يعطى الى رجل يرتدي ثيابا بيضاء يقف على بعد مترين من المتهمة، وقدم على انه زوجها.
ووسط هتافات "الله اكبر"، اطلق الرجل رصاصتين باتجاه المراة لكنه
اخطأها. اما الرصاصة الثالثة فاصابتها في الراس واردتها ارضا. لكنه لم
يتوقف عن اطلاق النار مرات عدة على جثتها.
Why world must react to Taliban execution
By Zainab Salbi, Special to CNN
(CNN) -- The
execution of Najiba,
an Afghan woman in her 20's, shot 13 times in front of a cheering
crowed in Parwan province -- and seen widely online in a grainy cell
phone video -- is a show of confidence by the Taliban.
It's unclear why she was shot, but local officials offer various reasons for her execution.
She was reportedly
executed last month for adultery, a crime that is indeed punishable in
Islam. But for an adultery charge to be proved, Islam requires four
eyewitness accounts that match precisely.
This is nearly impossible
in cultures like Najiba's, where sexual acts are extremely discrete.
But that religious requirement is irrelevant in any case to the Taliban,
whose fanatic view of Islam has been nothing but a violation of the
spirit of the religion itself.
After an hour-long trial,
Najiba was shot either by her Taliban husband or someone else. (One
version of the story is she had affairs with two Taliban members.) But
this case is less about Najiba and more about the Taliban demonstrating
its power,
even as the United States and Afghanistan attempt negotiations with the Taliban.
You see, women are like
the canary in the coal mine: What happens to them is an indicator of a
larger political direction for the society.
The Taliban has consistently used women to demonstrate its power.
When it first took over much of Afghanistan in 1996,
it imposed the harshest seclusion and prosecution of women in modern
history. Afghan women suffered under house imprisonments. They were
forbidden education and any form of mobility, to name only a few of its
brutal prohibitions.
Why women fac
But when the international community entered Afghanistan in 2001 and
started introducing laws to protect women's rights,
albeit in very basic ways, the Taliban retreated as its political and
military power was weakened. In the past two years, however, and
particularly since the international community started talking about
withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban began boldly resuming its own
rules in provinces where they have recently regained control, such as
Parwan province. And this has been reflected in one act of violence
toward women after another.
Through such public acts
-- sometimes recorded, as this one was -- the Taliban is demonstrating
its complete disregard of the Afghan government and the national rule of
law.
Women's rights cannot be
taken lightly, nor can they be seen as a marginal issue separate from
the political process of a country. The international community entered
Afghanistan with a clear promise to protect women's rights and invest in
creating opportunities for women to stand up on their feet.
Afghan women
took advantage of the opportunities
that were presented. They ran for and took political offices, they sent
their daughters to school, they took loans from microcredit entities
and started new business, and they worked in factories all at personal
risks.
They are now asking
whether the international community is planning to abandon them as
forces prepare to depart Afghanistan in 2014, and they are worried, very
worried indeed.
Educated and uneducated
women working in all sectors in the country are asking the same
question: "Is the international community going to sacrifice its promise
to protect us from the rule of the Taliban in order to reach political
settlement with it?"
If it is, then all the
efforts of every soldier, every taxpayer, every humanitarian worker who
has worked -- and in some cases, died -- in Afghanistan will have been
in vain.
To abandon the
protection of women's rights to seek political agreement with a force of
repression is to risk a return not only to insecurity in Afghanistan,
but I'd dare say to the world.
The Taliban only started
its acts of violence with women. We have to remember that it did not
stop there. That violence eventually affected every Afghan man and
child, and it eventually came to America and impacted the world.
The taping of Najiba's
execution is the Taliban's message that it is confident. What's going to
be the message back to them from the Afghan government and the
international community? Will it be to demonstrate that women's rights
and protections are valued in actions, in addition to the political
statements already made condemning the execution? We all are responsible
for the answer to that question.
