Thank you very much, Dr. Sobhrang. Welcome to the committee.
I must say you are indeed a very courageous woman to fight for women's rights in Afghanistan, considering all the challenges.
I would like you, as the head of the human rights commission, to tell us about what is happening in Kandahar, where the Canadian soldiers are. As you know, Kandahar is a very volatile province, with a lot of Taliban presence, with Canadians providing the security. Perhaps you can tell us and Canadians how your commission is working with the Canadians there to bring human rights issues into Kandahar, in light of the fact that the Taliban presence is still there.
