She dreamed of one day of becoming a journalist, she was interested in fashion, movies and friends. Her father was in the import\/export business and her mother was a doctor.\u003cbr\u003eThen in September 1996, Taliban soldiers seized power in Kabul. From that moment, Latifa, just 16 years old became a prisoner in her own home. Her school was closed. Her mother was banned from working. The simplest and most basic freedoms - walking down the street, looking out a window - were no longer hers. She was now forced to wear a chadri. \u003cbr\u003eMy Forbidden Face provides a poignant and highly personal account of life under the Taliban regime. With painful honesty and clarity Latifa describes the way she watched her world falling apart, in the name of a fanatical interpretation of a faith that she could not comprehend. Her voice captures a lost innocence, but also echoes her determination to live in freedom and hope. \u003cbr\u003eEarlier this year, Latifa and her parents escaped Afghanistan with the help of a French-based Afghan resistance group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn May 2001, Latifa \u0026amp; her parents escaped Afghanistan \u0026amp; were brought to Europe in an operation organized by a French-based Afghan resistance group \u0026amp; Elle Magazine.
