In a statement, the Human Rights Defenders Committee of Afghanistan said that it supports the demands of Mohra Barakzai, a LGBT rights activist who has been on a hunger strike in Germany.

The committee expressed concern about the health condition of Barakzai and said that it was following up on her demands.

LGBT rights activist Mohra Barakzai was taken to the hospital on Monday evening due to weakness after a week-long hunger strike in front of the German Foreign Ministry in Berlin.

She is on a hunger strike to protest against the massacre of Hazaras, and recognise LGBT rights and gender apartheid in Afghanistan.

"The committee emphasises that women's legitimate demands must be respected and supported," the statement said.

Mohra Barakzai resumed her strike on Wednesday after recovering in hospital.

At the same time, Diana Daneshvar, another LGBT rights activist, ended her hunger strike after a week.

Diana Daneshwar had also gone on a hunger strike in Islamabad, Pakistan, to protest gender apartheid, the killing of Hazaras, and the expulsion of Afghan immigrants from Iran.

The committee has also called on the international community, human rights organisations and institutions to support Barakzai. The committee's statement called on the German government to pay immediate attention and care to the health of the LGBT activist.

Last year, Mohra Barakzai went on an 11-day strike in Malmö, Sweden, to protest against the situation of LGBT people in Afghanistan, and spent 150 days in a sit-in tent.
