If ever there was a stronger reason for the right to free speech here’s an example.
An outspoken female legislator was physically and verbally attacked by her colleagues after saying on the parliament floor that some of Afghanistan’s mujahedeen leaders were criminals who shouldn’t now be lawmakers, officials said Monday. Malalai Joya, who apparently was unhurt, said several female legislators hit her with empty plastic water bottles and male members made death threats and lobbed insults at her after her speech on Sunday.
