This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 64%. (I'm a bot)

Taliban militants in Afghanistan have shot dead a policewoman in a provincial city, relatives have told the BBC.The woman, named in local media as Banu Negar, was killed at the family home in front of relatives in Firozkoh, the capital of central Ghor province.

The local Taliban promised to investigate, the family says.

Since taking power on 13 August, the Taliban has sought to portray itself as more tolerant than its reputation, but incidents of brutality and repression are still being reported in parts of the country.

On Saturday, Taliban officials broke up a demonstration by dozens of women in Kabul demanding the continuation of rights built up since the end of the Taliban's previous spell in power.

The province is the only part of Afghanistan actively resisting Taliban rule.

The opposition National Resistance Front of Afghanistan earlier accused the Taliban of spreading fake propaganda.
