nytimes.com - Hundreds of Afghan protesters marched to the nation’s Supreme Court on Tuesday, demanding justice for a woman who was beaten to death by a mob last week after being falsely accused of burning pages from the Quran.
The attack on the woman, a 27-year-old named Farkhunda, was recorded on video by bystanders and widely shared online. As extremely graphic images of the woman being kicked and hit with sticks and rocks circulated on social networks, Afghan rights advocates and the authorities appealed for help in identifying the men who had taken part in her killing.
