Episode notes

Of the 270 judges that were in Afghanistan, 250 of them asked to be evacuated. Of that 250, we have gotten out 185 women judges. But we also made a commitment to get their families out. We have 65 judges left in Afghanistan and their families. And we will get them out.

When the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August of 2021, they unlocked the prisons and freed prisoners, some of whom sought revenge on the women judges who convicted them. We speak with some of the judges in today’s episode.
