Afghanistan: Taliban beheads woman volleyball player

The story that 'Hakimi was killed' was testified by one of the coaches of the national team, Suraya Afzari (pseudonym), according to an interview with the news site Independent Persian. The incident is believed to have occurred in early October, but it was hidden because Hakimi's bereaved family was threatened not to announce the incident.

Alt News, a non-profit fact-checking site, points out that reports of Hakimi's murder are false.

One of the grounds is Hakimi's older brother, Scandol Hakimi's Facebook. When Mr. Scandor changed his profile picture to a black image on August 7, 2021, he received a number of 'condolences' comments.


Also, on August 9th, I changed my profile picture to a picture of Hakimi in military uniform and posted 'My sister, I'm always proud of you.'


Hakimi's friend also posted a photo of Hakimi on Facebook on August 7th with a condolence comment.

In addition, Alt News, as an interpreter for a Canadian activist who speaks the Persian dialect Dari, contacted Hakimi's bereaved family and received various information, and died on August 6, not October. I concluded that there was.

According to Hakimi's relatives, who Alt News contacted, Hakimi was engaged in 2020 and was to live with his fiancé's family and was about to get married. However, Hakimi received a scholarship from the United States, which was a problem with his fiancé's family. Hakimi was found dead in the bathroom of his fiancée's house on August 6, claiming that his fiancé had 'suffocated', but the bereaved family suspected a possible criminal offense by his fiancé's family. And that.

Alt News has a photo of the body that was sent by Hakimi's father. This photo has no mosaic on SNS, but although there is a red streak around the neck of the body, it is not a mark that was cut with a knife, and the bereaved family also denied the involvement of the Taliban.

Journalist Deepa Parent said, 'I contacted Hakimi's bereaved family and deleted the tweet about her death. Please think about the bereaved family and delete the tweet as well. About the cause of her death The news (that he was killed by the Taliban) is misleading. Please pray for her soul. '



It is an undeniable fact that the Taliban threatens female athletes. In addition to Mr. Afzari mentioned above, Mr. Zara Fayaji, a former player and coach of the same team who 'escaped' to England in August 2021, gave similar testimony. Mr. Fayaji also testified that 'one of his colleagues was killed,' and another player said, 'one was shot dead in August.' He still lives a life of running away from the Taliban. There is concern about the safety of the players after 30 names.
