American Adult Film Star Visits Bamiyan Amid Taliban’s Ban On Afghan Women
Whitney Wright, a well-known American adult film star, shared a video of her visit to Band-e Amir, Afghanistan’s national park, on Saturday.
Her visit comes nearly 18 months after the Taliban imposed a ban preventing Afghan women from entering the park.
On Friday, Wright also posted images from Kabul and Herat on her social media accounts, showcasing various locations in these cities. The images included an Ariana Airlines aircraft, the tiled ceiling of a shrine in Herat, a shop, and rickshaws on a street. However, she was not visible in any of these pictures.
Afghanistan International reached out to Wright to inquire about the exact timing and purpose of her trip, but no response has been received so far. The Taliban have also not commented on the matter.
Despite their harsh restrictions on Afghan women, the Taliban have facilitated travel for foreign male and female tourists, aiming to project a “positive image” of their rule to the world.
Previously, photographs of Taliban members posing warmly with female Chinese tourists gained widespread attention, highlighting the group’s stark contrast in treatment between local and foreign women.
