Not Again! Men Throw Acid Into Girls’ Faces For Going To School

When will this madness actually stop? When will these
outcasts execute themselves from planet earth? If you say going to school is ridiculous
and you can’t stand it, why don’t you just excuse us from earth? It’s that
simple, go to heaven the heaven you prefer now.

Attackers on a motorbike threw acid in the faces of three
teenage girls on their way to school in Afghanistan’s western Herat province on
Saturday, an official has told CNN. The girls, age 16 to 18, are students at one of the biggest
girls’ schools in Herat city, the provincial capital.

All three girls were admitted to Noor hospital in Herat city
before their parents took them elsewhere, said hospital head Jamal Abdul Naser
Akhundzada. Two of the girls were in critical condition after the acid was
thrown in their faces, he said.

Akhundzada quoted the girls as saying that their assailants
were two men on a motorbike. “This is the punishment for going to
school,” the men told the girls after pouring the acid on them, according
to Akhundzada. Abdul Rauf Ahmadi, a spokesman for the provincial police
chief, said police are working very hard to find the attackers.
