The 25-year-old woman, who goes by the simple first name of Elaha, explains that she was sexually assaulted by Saeed Khosty, a former spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior.
Saeed Khosty has denied the assault charges, saying he divorced Elaha following a “consent marriage”.
The accusations and their denials are broadcast and shared thousands of times on social media in Afghanistan, where it is rare for such personal details to be aired publicly.
In the video posted on Tuesday, Elaha, who calls herself a medical student at Kabul University, tearfully recounts the ordeal she lived through for several months.
“I was beaten. I was raped. I didn’t know what I should do. He filmed me and threatened to publish the video”, assures the young woman.

Elaha, who claims to be the daughter of a former Afghan general, says she tried to flee but was caught at the Torkham post on the border with Pakistan, from where she was taken to a Kabul prison.
She adds that she was then asked to apologize to the senior Taliban leader and was beaten when she refused to do so.
It is unknown where Elaha posted this video from and where it is currently located.
“She had some issues regarding her beliefs and faith. I tried to correct it through discussions and advice, but it didn’t work,” the senior Taliban official defended in a statement posted on Twitter.
“I didn’t beat her, but using my Islamic rights, I divorced her. I regret my hastily contracted marriage to her,” he continued.
He added that the young woman was free to file a complaint once morest him. “If my guilt is proven, the court can punish me. If she does not believe in the courts of the Islamic Emirate, then I am ready to go to any court she wishes,” assured Saeed Khosty.
“I apologize to the mujahideen (fighters) of the Islamic Emirate and the nation of Afghanistan. May God forgive me,” Khosty added.
After the video emerged, the hashtag #justiceforElaha went viral on social media.
Saeed Khosty has also received support from some Taliban, including on social networks.
Last year, Taliban Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada issued an executive order ordering authorities to take strict action once morest those who “force women into marriage through coercion or pressure”.
The difficulties faced by women have only increased since the Taliban returned to power last year. Islamist fundamentalists have closed secondary schools for girls in many provinces and barred women from many government jobs. They also ordered women to cover themselves fully in public, ideally with a burqa.
The GnRH hormone, a new avenue of treatment in trisomy 21
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
It’s a very small hormone, five times less massive than insulin, but with great effects. The pituitary gonadotropin releasing hormone, also called gonadotropin releasing hormone or GnRH, is known as the conductor of puberty and reproduction in humans, as in all vertebrates. GnRH is secreted in the brain by a handful of neurons. Could this hormone be involved in functions other than reproduction? This is the question that a team of French scientists tried to answer. In a mouse model used to study trisomy 21, researchers showed that GnRH improved memory function and olfaction. What give the idea to scientists at the CHUV to test the injection of GnRH in people with trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome. The preliminary results, published Thursday in the magazine Scienceare rather encouraging despite some limitations.
