  "account": "Zahra was not an activist when the Taliban took power in Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, five years ago. However, this young woman, whose identity is hidden under a false name, who was 22 at the time, went out into the street to demonstrate when those fundamentalists began to take away the rights of Afghan women: first, the right to education; shortly after, the right to work. According to her account, during one of the protests, on September 4, 2021, Taliban intelligence agents put a black bag over her head, put her in a car, took her to a detention center, and kept her there kidnapped for three days. “They did everything to her,” summarizes María López, a lawyer for Netwomening, an association that provides assistance to Afghan women with international protection in Spain.",
  "summary": "Spanish embassies in Iran and Pakistan are denying an increasing number of requests from victims of the Taliban, according to several NGOs.",
