Ukraine police shut down gay pride march [UPI - May 22 2012]

"The women of Afghanistan have come too far to see their rights vanish," said Frank Januzzi, head of Amnesty International USA's Washington office. "They must be part of the conversation about the future of Afghanistan or that future will look very bleak indeed. No one wants a return to the days when the Taliban banned women and girls from schools and work, and held them as virtual prisoners in their own country. This would be the ultimate catastrophe after a decade of gains for women. We hope the voices of these notable signatories will add to the pressure on Presidents Obama and Karzai to follow through on the promise of human rights for all women in Afghanistan."
