Angelina Jolie shares moving letter from young Afghan woman

DUBAI: Hollywood star and humanitarian Angelina Jolie recently shared a personal letter she received on Instagram from a young woman in Afghanistan.

Parts of the letter had been blurred out so as not to reveal the message writer’s identity.

In a post, the 46-year-old US actress said: “Please track what is happening in Afghanistan, where young women are being taken from their homes at night at gunpoint and disappeared, and new restrictions are being imposed on the freedom of women and girls day by day.”

In August, Jolie made her Instagram debut by sharing a different letter from another young woman who expressed her fears for the future after the Taliban had taken over Afghanistan.
