On Monday, Zhulia Parsi's family confirmed to Afghanistan International, that this Afghan women's rights activist has been released from the Taliban’s prison after about three months of detention.
The Taliban had arrested Parsi from her house in Kabul on September 27.
There is no information about Parsi's health status yet.
Earlier on December 4, along with reports of her "deteriorating physical condition" attributed to "torture" in a Taliban prison, sources informed Afghanistan International that Parsi had been transported to the hospital.
Sources did not provide information regarding the reason for her transfer to the hospital back then.
Several Afghan women rights activists wrote on social media that Parsi was taken to the hospital "with a poor physical and mental condition caused by brutal torture in the Taliban's prison”.
Sources, including one close to Parsi's family, have confirmed her transfer to the hospital. However, the Taliban has not provided any details to her family regarding the reason for the transfer, the nature of the illness, or the physical condition of this women's rights activist.
On September 27, Parsi and her child were arrested by the Taliban from her house in Kabul.
She was the head of the Spontaneous Movement of Afghan Women in Kabul, which protested against the discrimination and deprivation of women under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan.
