An Afghan professor tore his degrees to pieces live on air as he refused to accept an education system which bars his mum and sister from studying.
Ismail Mashal, who founded the private Mashal University in Kabul, became visibly distressed as tears welled in his eyes and his voice shook during an appearance on Afghanistan's Tolo News on Monday.
He held up the diplomas - which were originals and not copies - and ripped them to pieces while the live broadcast was rolling.
