An Afghan volleyball player on the girls’ national team was beheaded
by the Taliban — with gruesome photos of her severed head posted on
social media, according to her coach.

Mahjabin Hakimi, one of the best players in the Kabul Municipality
Volleyball Club, was slaughtered in the capital city of Kabul as
troops searched for female sports players, her coach told the
Persian Independent.

She was killed earlier this month, but her death remained mostly
hidden because her family had been threatened not to talk, claimed
the coach, using a pseudonym, Suraya Afzali, due to safety fears.

Images of Hakimi’s severed neck were published on Afghan social
media, according to the paper, which did not say how old she was.

Conflicting reports online suggested that happened earlier, with an
apparent death certificate suggesting she was killed Aug. 13 — the
final days of the Taliban’s insurgency before seizing Kabul.

However, the Payk Investigative Journalism Center said its sources
also confirmed that Hakimi “was ‘beheaded’ by the Taliban in Kabul.”
The governing group has yet to comment, Payk Media said.

Afzali told the Persian Independent that she was speaking out to
highlight the risk that female sports players face, with only two of
the women’s national volleyball team having managed to flee the
country.

“All the players of the volleyball team and the rest of the women
athletes are in a bad situation and in despair and fear,” she told
the paper. “Everyone has been forced to flee and live in unknown
places.”

One of the players who escaped, Zahra Fayazi, told the BBC last
month that at least one of the players had been killed.

“We don’t want this to repeat for our other players,” she told the
broadcaster from her new home in the UK.

“Many of our players who are from provinces were threatened many
times by their relatives who are Taliban and Taliban followers.
