HARDtalk, May 21, 2009: Malalai Joya has been described as the "bravest woman in Afghanistan". She was suspended from the Afghan Parliament for saying it was worse than a zoo.

Shes accused her fellow MPs of being corrupt, greedy, murdering warlords. Now, living in hiding, she continues to fight for women's rights.

She tells Sarah Montague that life is hell for women in Afghanistan -- as bad now -- as it was under the Taliban.

@stupidhaoleboi Except that if she's your wife, it's not rape, because a wife signs over all rights to physical autonomy on her wedding night.

afggorilla: i didn't know that sharia law says that Shia women can be forced to have sex with their husbands. I always thought muhammed meant "The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife." and would think that would mean to not rape your wife... hmmm...

[bapyou]

Yes, she is nothing like any Afghan. She stands up to the criminals in her country. Unlike you, who is, obviously, a person without a backbone.
