Afghan Women's Prison in Mazar-E-Sharif

MAZAR-E-SHARIF, AFGHANISTAN - OCTOBER 22: Prisoner Sara Gul, 26, changes her baby's diaper inside the women's prison October 20, 2010 in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. Sara has been in prison for six months after running away from her home to escape her husband. According to Afghanistan's Ministry for Women and the Independent Human Rights Commission, many of the females that are incarcerated are being detained for "moral crimes". These so-called crimes include everything from running away from home, refusing to marry, marriage without proper family consent and attempted adultery. In the worst cases women are put away for many years, accused of murder when usually another person has actually commmited the crime. With the courts at many times refering to Islamic Sharia law, the court system in Afghanistan can be easily adapted to work against, in what many critics of Afghan law see, as the rights of Afghan women.
