June 23 (UPI) -- The European Union and the Taliban met in Brussels on Tuesday to negotiate the return of Afghan refugees to the country.
Officials from the European Commission and 15 member states met discreetly with the regime, and several Europeans criticized the move.
"I am shaken and deeply disturbed by this," Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai told Radio Free Europe.
Yousafzai was shot in the face at age 15 by the Taliban for defying its ban on education for girls.
