The inspirational anti-war Afghan MP Malalai Joya was joined on the platform by Lance Corporal Joe Glenton, a serving British soldier who was speaking in public for the first time against the horror caused by the war in Afghanistan.

Malalai Joya really is one of the bravest women in Afghanistan. She told the 300-strong audience at Conway Hall in central London that shes survived five assassination attempts and is still not safe with personal security guards or by wearing a burkha to cover her identity. Yet she continues to campaign against foreign occupation and fundamentalist warlords, and for womens rights and education. She believes all NATO troops must leave Afghanistan immediately.

  • a wonderful, wonderful human being. how much i admire you!

  • Whom are you speaking about? Are you calling Joya a "bitch of america"?

    If so, on what do you base this judgement? Joya speaks against the policies of the United States everywhere she goes; everywhere and in all situations.

    So in what way is she a "bitch" of the United States?

    Your comment is shameful. She is an incredibly brave human being standing up to criminals; criminals within the borders of her country and international criminals.

  • Such a shame that for all the trillions of dollars put into this country in the name of freedom, any woman in public life is under threat of death every minute of the day by the extremists. She is risking her life while the US military shoot up random civilians. What a world.
