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."

That Sally Field film was “Not Without My Daughter” (1991).
One might think that she’d learned something. Though that bubble actors live in is one of the biggest of the islamirepublidemocommucrat line.
Vestiges of those Crusaders of long, long time ago.
Even green-eyed attractive young women can be LIARS and CHEATS. Duh.
But, being female, I have absolutely NO sympathy for her. Hah, she's probably a tranny anyway. Lol.
But, then that's true anywhere on this planet.
Yikes! ...she needs full burka treatment.
Yes. The photograph was taken by the now widely discredited photojournalist Steve McCurry.
There has likely been very little joy or happiness in her life. She's basically been living in a war zone most of her life.

You’re responding to a poster who thinks the Tibetans are better off under ChiCom domination, that a Kurdish woman fighting for her people is a moron and that violations of the 4th Amendment here are wonderful regulations we should be thankful for. Shallow and ignorant don’t begin to cover it.
The responses on this thread are shameful. Afghanistan is one of the few places where women live shorter lifespans then men. About 49 years iirc. This woman deserves prayers, not mockery.
We have a president who got 8 years and a pension!
She probably didn’t want the attention from being found, or the nightmares that it brought back.
Women have "rights" if they are rich, smart, nice and beautiful. That is THAT part of the world. Poor, stupid, mean, ugly women are too-away.
National Geographic took her photo BECAUSE she was a young, green-eyed beauty. Do you REALLY think they would have photographed "poor, stupid, mean and ugly"? Chances are that they would NOT.
Also a woman's status is what her family's status is. Women bear the burden of the honor of the family. If SHE is "tarnished" then the entire honor of the family is tarnished. Such is their life.
I think it STINKS but who am I to force them to change?
Women's status in ALL of Asia and Africa stinks. It's only in Christian countries where women have any status earned (Wrong word but I can't think of a substitute.) by Mary.
Truth be known the status of women took a huge leap with the motherhood of MARY. As the mother of God she lifted up ALL women.
Remember, when the Chinese discovered amniocentesis so many Chinese female fetuses were destroyed that the poorer men had no wives. The Chinese call those men the "Bare Branches."
Let’s see how good you looked if you lived over there. Dick.
Tranny??? What an odd untoward thing to say.
The woman has had a difficult life and was put in a difficult situation by having been singled out for initial & later photographs, not at all of her doing, as others have pointed out. She was a 12-yr old in a refugee camp. The woman did not seek out notoriety. God only knows what she is facing in her hard life.
bttt
Actually I know two who got out.
One from Lebanon and the other from Iran.
One is stunning!
She was the one who told me about the Saudi mistresses kept in $1M+ condos on the Med in Lebanon.
We also think this is where they found Huma.
Poor woman.
Movie.
“Not without my daughter”
Dick.
There, fixed it.
