US porn star Whitney Wright 'visits' Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Who is she?
Trending | World | The porn star, who boast a following base of 1 million people across the globe, sparked discussion last year after her visit to Iran.
A US-based porn star, Whitney Wright, recently visited Afghanistan in a trip unacknowledged by Taliban. Wright is on a tour to Muslim-dominated nations and this time, she landed in a region where rights of women have been snatched by the current government.
The porn star, who boasts a follower base of 1 million people across the globe, sparked discussion last year after her visit to Iran. The Shia majority nation had ousted American influence after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Iran also do not have a good reputation when it comes to rights for women and girls in the country.
Wright informed about her trip to Afghanistan via a post on the social media platform Instagram where she posted pictures showing a plane from national carrier Ariana on a runway, a tiled ceiling from the Western city of Herat, news agency Associate Press (AP) reported. But she was not seen in the photos and neither has she responded so far on the topic.
Taliban have not responded to the news.
