We will end the nightmare of this administration in two weeks and be forever vigilant.

More than 50% of women jailed for adultery in Afghanistan come from province prosecuted by Ms Bashir – which holds just 20% of the population.

Last year she was hailed as one of the most influential people in the world – a defender of women's rights as Afghanistan's only female head prosecutor.

Ms Bashir has been lauded by both Michelle Obama and Hilary Clinton – and she was one of ten women to receive a 'Women of Courage' Award in Washington last year.

But Maria Bashir's reputation is now in doubt after the Times revealed that Ms Bashir is also the most prolific prosecutor of women for Afghanistan's so-called 'moral' crimes, such as adultery.

While Ms Bashir campaigns against abuse husbands, more than half of the 172 women jailed in Afghanistan for sex outside of marriage (known as 'zina') have come from her province.
