Bazi

Real Kashmir FC registered their first win of the I-League season as they went on to defeat defending champions Chennai City FC.

Adorned in makeup, fake breasts and bells, Jawed whirls around middle-aged men at Kabul's underground bacha bazi, or "boy play" parties, where the former child sex slave finds freedom of sorts as a dancing boy.

Quivering with quiet rage, Shirin holds a photo of his teenage brother-in-law, who now lives as the plaything of policemen, just one victim of a hidden epidemic of kidnappings of young boys for institutionalised sexual slavery in Afghanistan.

US lawmakers are pressing Washington to get tough on institutionalized sexual slavery of boys by Afghan forces, with some invoking a human rights law that prohibits American aid to foreign military units committing such violations.

Afghanistan's president has ordered a "thorough investigation" into institutionalised sexual abuse of children by police, after news agency AFP revealed the Taliban are using child sex slaves to launch deadly insider attacks.

The Taliban are using child sex slaves to mount crippling insider attacks on police in southern Afghanistan, exploiting the pervasive practice of "bacha bazi" -- paedophilic boy play -- to infiltrate security ranks, multiple officials and survivors of such assaults told AFP.

Fans of Dev Anand woke up to a rude Sunday morning shock as the news of the legendary actor's passing away in London unfolded here.
