Tortured Afghan Girl Wants Her Tormentors Imprisoned
When we last left her, Sahar Gul was in dire straits.
The 15-year-old Afghan newlywed, who was allegedly tortured by her husband and in-laws and kept in a basement for several months, was near death when she was rescued about two weeks ago.
Now her doctors, who spoke to RFE/RL’s Radio Free Afghanistan, say Gul’s condition has improved a bit and that there’s no need to send her to India for treatment, as Afghan officials had planned.
