A US-based porn star, Whitney Wright, recently visited Afghanistan in a trip unacknowledged by Taliban. Wright is on a tour to Muslim-dominated nations and this time, she landed in a region where the current government has snatched the rights of women.

The porn star, who boasts a follower base of 1 million people across the globe, sparked discussion last year after she visited Iran. The Shia majority nation ousted American influence after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Iran also does not have a good reputation when it comes to rights for women and girls in the country. 

Wright posted about her trip to Afghanistan on Instagram's social media platform. She posted pictures showing a plane from national carrier Ariana on a runway, a tiled ceiling from the Western city of Herat, news agency Associated Press (AP) reported. But she has not been seen in the photos or responded so far. 

The Taliban have not responded to the news.

Wright was born in Oklahoma City of the United States. Since she is a US citizen, she requires a visa to enter Afghanistan, but there are no operational Afghan embassies or consulates in the US. 

US State Department has restricted US citizens from travelling to Afghanistan due to civil unrest, crime, terrorism, kidnapping and limited health facilities in the country.
