National Geographic 'Afghan girl with green eyes' arrested in Pakistan

An Afghan woman (right) immortalized on a celebrated National Geographic magazine cover (left) as a green-eyed 12-year-old girl was arrested Wednesday for living in Pakistan on fraudulent identity papers. The haunting image of Sharbat Gula, taken in a Pakistan refugee camp by photographer Steve McCurry in 1984, became the most famous cover image in the magazine’s history. She now faces up to 14 years in jail, a Pakistani official warned.

FIA arrested Sharbat Gula, an Afghan woman, today for obtaining a fake ID card,’ Shahid Ilyas, an official of the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA), told AFP.

Ilyas said that FIA is also seeking three NADRA officials who were found responsible for issuing Pakistan’s national identity card to Gula, who have been at large since the fraud was detected.

‘Sharbat Gula was ready to repatriate to her father’s village in Afghanistan in early summer this year,’ a relative of Gula told CBS News.

‘But the residents of her native village left … due to ISIS,’ they added.

‘Her Pakistan ID was already blocked one year back … She thought the case had been closed. She is a simple, illiterate lady,’ he said.

  1. Imagine that – a country arresting you for having fraudulent paperwork.
    And how many middle easterners with fraudulent backgrounds and paperwork have been relocated here. Hard to find out who they are if you don’t even have a legitimate name.

  2. Woman, illegal alien, and raghead!
    A fukkin three-fer – I’m sure Obola and Clinton will swing into action with all the power and majesty of the United States behind them, to see that Justice is done and that Sharbat Gula can take her rightful place as Professor of Something_Studies at Harvard or Yale.

    Ambassador to the UN, at the very least.

  3. One of my BiLs dated a girl that looked a lot like the young version on the left. Quite beautiful, actually. I remember when this cover came out it was a part of our conversations for a while because of the likeness.

    Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but that’s what it took to date that BiL. She never wore a bikini because she had 6 nipples.

    Never really knew what to make of that.
