ISLAMABAD: Nargis Dowlatshahi, an Afghan sportswoman, was arrested by Islamabad police (Afghan Times reported) Thursday morning. The young woman, who fled Afghanistan a year ago to escape the Taliban’s restrictions on women, now faces deportation back to her homeland -- a country where she fears arrest.
Nargis sought refuge from the Taliban’s oppressive policies that ban women from participating in sports. Once in Pakistan, she registered herself with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Islamabad.
