Poet Nadia Anjuman was beaten to death, and her husband and mother have been arrested. The
United Nations condemned the killing Tuesday as symptom of continuing violence against Afghan women four years after the fall of the Taliban.

Her husband has confessed to slapping her after an argument, Paikar said. The woman's mother was at home at the time and was suspected of having had a role in the death. Both were arrested, but no charges were immediately filed.

Though things have much improved in parts of the country, President Hamid Karzai's U.S.-backed government has little authority in many rural areas to enforce a new constitution that guarantees gender equality.

"Students everywhere are so upset over this. She was such a prominent poet in Afghanistan," said Homayan Ludin, a student at Kabul University.

Poets are dangerous-- poets make the truth ring in the ears of the corrupt. Therefore, Poets must die.
