It was a summer’s morning in Kabul, and Raihana Attaee was playing with her baby boy when she entered a nipping death trouble over the phone.
It was from a man she had doomed to captivity just two months before for torturing and killing his woman.
“He belonged to the Taliban and his voice was full of horror,”Judge Attaee told the ABC.
“He told me,’I’ve power now. I can find you anywhere that you are. I can do anything to you when I find you’.”
As the only womanish judge at the Primary Court of Elimination of Violence Against Women in Nangarhar, Judge Attaee had locked terrorists, rapers and manslayers.
But when the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August, the incarcerations were voided and those who had been transferred to jail were out for vengeance.
Around 250 women judges suddenly plant themselves in mortal peril, with many places left to hide from the Taliban.
The Taliban went door knocking
The man making the death pitfalls to Judge Attaee had tortured and boggled his woman after discovering she possessed a mobile phone.
After killing her, he put a mesh around her neck to make it look like she had taken her own life.
The 31- time-old judge said she entered a series of death pitfalls from the man before deciding to flee Nangarhar for the capital, Kabul.
“He told me he’d gotten all my information from the court, including my ID,”she said.
While in Kabul she moved house at least five times, trying to shirk him.
But Judge Attaee was advised that the Taliban were closing in on her.
“My coworker called me and said just leave Kabul, go to another fiefdom or hide nearly differently,”she said.
“It was so, so scary for me. I was hysterical because of my little son.”
Further than 800 kilometres down in Herat Province, Judge Arezoo Amini was facing analogous horrors.
She had presided over further than family court opinions and was now in the sights of displeased members of the Taliban who had been forced into divorce for abusing their women.
Someone called me and said,’you took my woman from me and now she has married someone differently, so I’ll not let you live presently. I’ll kill you’,”she told the ABC.
After the pitfalls continued, she fled her home with her hubby and three children.
“After a many days, my family went to my home to get commodity for me,”she said.
“One of the neighbours stopped him and said’ Tell Miss Arezoo not to come to the house, a Talib (Taliban bottom dogface) came searching for her.’
“The neighbour said he was carrying a mobile phone with a print of me inside it and was asking,’Does anyone know where she is?’
.
“He indeed took out a cutter and hovered our neighbours.”
With the Taliban ending in on the judges, numerous stressed it would not be long until they were killed.
