Sharbat Gula, the famous green-eyed Afghan girl, will spend 14 days in judicial custody in Peshawar, a Peshawar court decided. She was arrested on Wednesday by Pakistani police for a fake identity card. She could be sentenced to 14 years in prison if found guilty, according to Pakistani government. Sharbat Gula has denied any wrongdoing. She is from Pachir Aw Agam district of Nangarhar province, 42 years old and married. Gula was 12 when photographer Steve McCurry captured his iconic image of her living in a refugee camp for Afghan nationals in Peshawar. The photo was on the cover of National Geographic. Photographer McCurry has criticized the decision to arrest her and has pledged financial help to get her out of prison.
