You're going to 💕💕💕SHARIA LAW! Mind-bending photos by anonymous cousins show the pain and dreams of Afghan women Do these photos depict fiction or reality ... or both? A bicyclist whose dark, flowing burka enfolds her body from head to ankles sits with hands perched on the handlebar, seemingly undaunted by the meshed veil that covers her eyes and restricts her sight. Her determination is suggested by the photo's title, "It will not stand in my way."A similarly clad figure swirls so swiftly that the billowing fabric appears to lift her into the air like a bird in flight; scribbled in Farsi across the brick wall in front of her is the phrase, "I dreamed that my homeland was prosperous." https://www.npr.org/2026/05/24/g-s1-123443/photos-afghanistan-women-taliban
