Photo Friday: Qubra & Pervez (Plus Video)
Qubra and her son Pervez fled Afghanistan after losing most of their family to the war with the Taliban. Qubra’s husband, a trader and long-distance truck driver, was abducted and later disappeared.
Pervez was detained and tortured before being warned by the Taliban never to return to his home country.
Mother and son have been living a meager existence as refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan ever since. Qubra says that she is afraid to return home. “My only hope is to see my son married.”
