Malalai Joya, the Afghan MP who has been called the bravest woman in Afghanistan and who has received numerous international awards for her defence of human rights, sent a message of support to Mr Glenton on Wednesday:-
Dear Joe, Stay strong! The majority of the Afghan people are with you and we respect and admire the stand you have taken.
When there is no justice, it is better for honest people to go even to jail rather than go to war. Down with the occupation. I send you my warmest greetings and solidarity.
Malalai is a women whose life is under constant threat; she has survived several attempt on her life already. Despite this she would like all foreign troops to leave Afghanistan immediately.
