Farkhunda, 28, an Afghan woman, has died after being lynched in Kabul. She challenged a mullah about his practice of selling charms to women at a shrine and was falsely accused of burning the Koran. A crowd overheard the argument and beat her to death despite her denials. Hundreds of Afghans have protested against the attack and her father has said the police should have done more to save her.
