Tomorrow, maybe I or someone else who is fighting for their rights will be arrested," Sonia, a female rights activist who participated in the recent protest in Kabul, told TOLO News."If the women are being detained for the sake of the protest, this is injustice because protesting is our right and we will continue it," said Bahara, another womens rights activist.

Meanwhile, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said it sought "urgent information" from the Interior Ministry on the alleged abductions."UN repeats its call for all disappeared women activists and relatives to be released," UNAMA said on Twitter.

Some social media users launched a campaign calling for the release of the detained women."When there are forces of the government everywhere in the country, it is unacceptable to believe the government is not aware of the disappearance of the women.

The government should be accountable," said a protestor, Waheeda.ksk/ #Alleged #female #Afghan #spark #concerns # Sonia.
