„Prinși în furtună”. O româncă atât de curajoasă încât a rămas în Afganistan când s-au întors talibanii, spune că ura de pe internet din România e mai toxică decât pericolul fizic

A Romanian expert, who bravely stayed in Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover, highlights the toxicity of online hate in Romania, which she finds more dangerous than physical threats.
