Petition text:
President Obama,
We, the undersigned, hereby request that your administration take severe action against the government of Afghanistan in regard to the recent passage of legislation that infringes upon the rights of women in the region.
We ask that you act with prudence and haste in this matter. We cannot support sending US support to a region that so flagrantly neglects human rights with legal predication.
We, the undersigned, respectfully ask that your administration act with more than words in pressuring President Hamid Karzai to repeal this legislation, and undo the reversal of human rights progress that this new law creates.
