submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 5 years 8 months 2 weeks ago

Nilofar Habibi, a presenter with Herat TV in Afghanistan, became a symbol of resistance for women journalists in the summer of 2008.

In the face of death threats for working as a journalist, Habibi decided to keep working. And suffered the consequences.

In June 2008, she took refuge at the Doha Centre for Media Freedom in Qatar. This is her story.

Man, these people make me want to scream! I just want to grab them and shake them, and yell, "Get a Clue, What the F*** is wrong with you?????"

I just don't understand the mentality, the inhumanity, the stubborn insane stupidity that this culture has for humanity and the women of this world!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Farhad - I respect your Goldcrowniness, but what does "definant" mean?
