'If my sister and my mother can’t study, then I don’t accept this education.' A Kabul professor tore up his diplomas live on television in Afghanistan in protest over the Taliban’s barring of women from higher education.
A Kabul professor tore up his diplomas live on television in Afghanistan in protest over the Taliban’s barring of women from higher education. The man, named Ismail Mashal, is founder of the private Mashal University in Kabul and also a lecturer at Kabul University. With tears in his eyes and his voice quivering, he ripped up the diplomas during an on-set appearance for the country’s Tolo News on Monday.
The clip of his appearance has since gone viral, including being retweeted by Shabnam Nasimi, the former policy adviser to the Minister for Afghan Resettlement & Minister for Refugees, based in the UK. “Astonishing scenes as a Kabul university professor destroys his diplomas on live TV in Afghanistan,” tweeted Nasimi, alongside the clip. The Taliban announced on December 20 that university education for all female students had been suspended.
