An Afghan woman immortalised on the cover of
 National Geographic magazine in 1985 as a
 green-eyed 12-year-old has been arrested
 in Pakistan for holding fake identity papers, officials say.

Sharbat Gula could face a fine and up to 14 years in jail.

"I object to this action by the authorities in the strongest possible terms.
She has suffered throughout her entire life, and her arrest is an
egregious violation of her human rights."

[sparklite2]

"You are using a fake ID, but since
you have green eyes, it would be a
violation of human rights to arrest
you."

No longer not guilty?

[sparklite2]

She was not guilty back then, but today she is guilty.

Did she ever get a bath?

Here she is in 2002:

“Green eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green eyed lady, ocean lady
Soothing every raging wave that comes”

No longer not guilty

You can say that again...

[ScottinVA]

The years definitely haven’t been kind to her... but in that miserable hellhole of a region, what’s to be expected?

[NorthMountain]

She’s much older and has had a harder life than most Americans can even imagine.

[Ditter]

Cut her some slack, think about the hard life she has led. I am surprised she has lived this long.

[piytar]

As other Freepers have said, she has lived a harder life than most Americans can even imagine. And frankly, she still is a handsome woman given her age and hardships.

Please cut her some slack.

It’s amazing how thoroughly Islam destroyed her beauty.

“Cut her some slack, think about the hard life she has led.”

Ditto, Ditter!

[ETL]

Yeah, you’re right. Plus that mean expression on her face. I’m sure there are some happier photos of her out there.

[ETL]

for holding fake identity papers, officials say. ... Sharbat Gula could face a fine and up to 14 years in jail.

14 YEARS???

[Ellendra]

I’m amazed she survived having her picture taken again. She’s surrounded by a culture that forbids her from showing her face in the presence of any man outside her family, and as I recall, the photographer was a man.

[Zathras]

I suspect she was trying to get out of Afghanistan and got caught.

An illegal alien?
