The Afghan Association of Luxembourg held a protest gathering in Luxembourg and issued a resolution demanding the immediate lifting of all restrictions on Afghan women and girls.
The resolution cites violations of basic human rights, including access to education, work, political participation, and freedom of movement. It also raises concern over increased pressures, arbitrary arrests, violence, and the suppression of protests against women.
Participants specifically highlighted recent events in Jibraeel town in Herat, where women faced arrests, beatings, and violent treatment.
The resolution calls on the European Union to make human rights protections for Afghan women a condition for any engagement with the Taliban. It further urges the United Nations, the international community, and human rights institutions to take coordinated action to hold those responsible for violations accountable.
The gathering took place on Wednesday, 27 Jawza.

Reliability assessment
Single source provides direct, detailed reporting of a public event and on-record resolution by a named organization (Afghan Association of Luxembourg), including specific date, location, and content; no conflicting reports.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Hasht-e Subh: "brutal crackdown" is not in the text but equivalent loaded terms include "arbitrary arrests, violence, and the suppression of peaceful protests", "violent treatment against women", and "deep human, social, and economic crises"; these are charged because they use emotionally weighted descriptors of harm and crisis without attribution to specific verified incidents while framing the restrictions as inherently unjust and in conflict with universal values.
