Unbelievable!! Today, President Karzai granted clemency to Gulnaz! It's all over CNN and BBC-- WE DID IT!! 93000 people signed the petition to ask the President to reconsider the policy of incarcerating women for "moral crimes" and he did! Gulnaz is no longer in jail for refusing to marry her rapist! Now, we only have 842 and 1130 children left to free from this injustice--and we can do it!!
Thank you to all who have supported efforts of Afghan Women's Justice Project over the past year. You have changed history!
