Malalai Joya

Her suspension in May 2007 generated protest internationally and appeals for her reinstatement were signed by high-profile writers, intellectuals such as Noam Chomsky, and politicians including members of parliament from Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. She was called "the bravest woman in Afghanistan" by the BBC.
In 2010, ''Time'' magazine placed Malalai Joya on their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Foreign Policy Magazine listed Malalai Joya in its annual list of the Top 100 Global Thinkers. On 8 March 2011, ''The Guardian'' listed her among "Top 100 women: activists and campaigners". In 2021, Joya was forced under threat from the Taliban regime to leave Afghanistan and live in exile. Provided by Wikipedia
