About 400 women are imprisoned for "moral crimes" in Afghanistan, denounced the NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW), which requested the international community to pressure the Afghan government to release these "victims".
According to a report by the organization, almost all the girls detained in juvenile facilities and half of adult women in prison serving sentences for having abandoned homes where they were battered, or having been raped or prostituted.
"These women are victims and not criminals," says the HRW report, which states that those accused of "moral crimes" face a judicial system against them in all phases, "which allows real criminals get away" .
"Police arrested with only the repudiation of husband or a relative, prosecutors ignore the evidence of his innocence and judges alone condemn them with 'confessions' made without an attorney and signed by illiterate women" can be read in the text.
HRW acknowledges the progress in the situation of Afghan women since the fall of the Taliban regime a decade ago as the 2009 law that punishes domestic violence, but claims that the system is working against the Afghan.
In preparing its report, entitled "I had to flee: Women and girls imprisoned for 'moral crimes'," the organization interviewed 58 women who went to the police to report child marriages, beatings, stabbings, and burns.
HRW stresses that running away is not an offense in itself to Afghan law, but the Supreme Court of Afghanistan "has instructed judges that girls and women fleeing are treated as criminals."
As for the crime of adultery, which are charged after being forced many women sexually, this can be punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
In Afghanistan also remains very common cases like the 15 year old Sahar Gul, whom police released three months ago after spending six months locked in a basement of the home of his in-laws in the north.
As reported the girl herself, was about a year married to her husband twice age-and had received numerous beatings and abuse after refusing to be prostituted "with guests of the family." After the media frenzy of the case, the Authorities arrested Sahar-laws, but her husband could escape.
