I just read a piece in the Guardian where a student left the university hurriedly yesterday and is hiding her certificates.
There was the minister for education on the tv yesterday "I'm about to pay a high price for trying to improve the world". Very brave woman she wasn't fleeing the country even though she expects the death penalty.

Speaking of price, looks like the price of burqas just went up.
"Ahead of the Taliban's arrival in Kabul on Sunday, women also rushed to stores to panic buy burqas, The Guardian reported. The last time the Taliban were in power, in the 1990s, the wearing of burqas was policed strictly. Kabul's vendors were also said to be hiking their prices for burqas in light of the Taliban takeover. Last year these burqas cost AFS 200 ($2.50). Now they're trying to sell them to us for AFS 2,000 to 3,000 ($25 to $37)," a woman identified as Aaila told The Guardian.
