American adult star Whitney Wright, whose real name is Brittni Rayne Whittington, has already faced criticism for promoting propaganda for Iran’s government after posting about her recent trip to the Islamic Republic. Despite the risks of being arrested or facing a death sentence due to her profession, Wright has now shared new photos from her visit to several Afghan cities. In one of the images, she is seen holding an AK-47 rifle, implying that she was travelling under the protection of the Taliban.
These images of the social media post have sparked outrage; under Taliban-imposed restrictions, Afghan women are banned from travelling more than 72 kilometres alone without a male guardian. The Taliban has also prohibited women from entering parks, restaurants, and gyms.
Wazhma Tokhi, an Afghan women’s rights and education activist, called this situation “fundamentally hypocritical”.

“Afghan women are imprisoned in their own homeland, while foreign visitors – no matter their background – are treated with hospitality,” she added.
Several other social media accounts have shared these images, criticizing the hypocrisy of Afghanistan’s current regime.
