A video clip of the debate show was shared on Twitter by Shabnam Nasimi, former policy advisor to the Minister for Afghan Resettlement & Minister for Refugees.
As seen in the video, the Kabul University professor, identified as Ismail Mashal, held up his diploma certificates and then tore them up one by one.
While tearing the certificates, the professor is heard saying, “I do not need these certificates as now there is no place for education in this country. I cannot accept this education if my sister and mother cannot study.”
Taliban has also barred women from most jobs and made it compulsory for women to wear Hijabs and Burqas. Besides, Afghan women are also banned from public parks and gyms.
Then, on Dec. 20, the Sharia-compliant Taliban regime banned university access for female students.
Below is a video of the Afghan professor’s audacious protest on TV.
