AFGHANISTAN-UNREST-WOMEN-RELIGION

Afghan residents look at a green tree that was planted as a memorial on the bank of a river near to where a woman was beaten with sticks and stones, thrown from a roof and run over by a car in Kabul on March 24, 2015. Hundreds of protesters shouting "Down with ignorance!" urged the Afghan government March 24, 2015, to bring to justice the killers of a woman lynched by a mob for allegedly burning the Koran. Farkhunda, 27, was beaten with sticks and stones, thrown from a roof and run over by a car outside a mosque in Kabul March 20. The mob then set her body ablaze and dumped it in the Kabul river while several police officers looked on. Interior Minister Noorul Haq Ulumi told parliament March 24 that Farkhunda had not in fact burnt a Koran. "The accusation against her is completely invalid. Farkhunda was a religious girl, she was not involved (in burning the Koran), she was innocent," the minister said.
