Afghan women describe joy at resuming medical dreams in Scotland
Medical students banned from attending university in Afghanistan, have described their joy at being able to resume their studies in Scotland.
In 2022, the Taliban banned women from attending university after retaking control of Afghanistan.
Lewis-based charity the Linda Norgrove Foundation worked with UK and Scottish governments to arrange visas and places at medical schools.
Linda Norgrove was kidnapped by the Taliban in 2010 and died during an attempt by the US military to rescue her.
Her parents John and Lorna set up the charity later that same year.
