Zan News: The Purple Saturdays Movement has strongly condemned the Taliban's invitation to the third Doha conference in a statement, calling for increased public pressure on the United Nations to prevent the Taliban and terrorists from attending the meeting.

The statement said that despite the efforts of protest movements and the Purple Saturdays Movement over the past three years to prevent the normalization of the Taliban's presence at global meetings, the United Nations has once again invited the group, which has been recognized as a "human rights violator, war criminal and terrorist group," to the Doha conference.

The Purple Saturdays Movement called the UN's action a disregard for human rights and women's rights, and stressed that the organization, instead of prosecuting Taliban leaders for their crimes, is indirectly supporting the group by inviting them to the Doha conference.

The movement also referred to the Taliban's absence from the second Doha conference due to "non-acceptance of their demands" and the UN Secretary-General's statements that accepting the Taliban's demands would mean recognizing the group, and asked the UN under what conditions and demands it has encouraged the Taliban to attend the third Doha conference.

Expressing concern about efforts to legitimize the Taliban's rule, the Purple Saturdays Movement stressed that the Afghan people should not expect the international community and the United Nations to remain indifferent to the Taliban's crimes.

The movement called on all protest movements, young people, women, elites, intellectuals and committed politicians in Afghanistan to stand together against the Taliban in a "thought coalition" and increase public pressure on the United Nations to prevent the Taliban from attending the Doha conference.

The Purple Saturdays Movement also called for an end to appeasement, whitewashing and normalization of the Taliban's presence at global meetings and efforts to legitimize the group's rule in Afghanistan.

The movement called on the Afghan people, especially women and members of civil society, to fight the Taliban instead of trying to attend such meetings and strive for justice and an end to tyranny in Afghanistan.

In conclusion, the Purple Saturdays Movement, emphasizing that the Taliban have not been "flexible and adaptable" in the past three years, called on all anti-Taliban people's movements to support an alternative to the group's rule, which is a "legitimate, democratic and decentralized system and government."
