Angelina Jolie urge her Instagram followers to support a man who jailed for defending women and girls. The man is Matiullah Wesa, who is the Founder & President of @penpathvolunteers.
He built libraries and schools in rural Afghanistan.
Jolie posted some photos of him and wrote, '@matiullah_wesa is one of many Afghan men who defend the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan'.
'He opposed the decision by the Taliban to ban girls from going to school'.
'Now he is in prison. I’ve written a letter of support to him today. You can leave your own message @penpathvolunteers.'
Matiullah Wesa's last post on Instagram was in March. He wrote, 'Men, women, elderly, young, everyone from every corner of the country are asking for the Islamic rights to education for their daughters. Penpath female volunteers calls for girls education and their rights to education.'
