The incident happened on July 12, but it became known about it only now. The woman’s daughter told the journalists about the incident. The TV channel calls her Manizha, and her mother – Nadzhia, but these names are fictitious for security reasons.
The militants have already come to Najia three times with the demand that she prepare food for 15 people. The woman refused because she was poor and did not have the means to feed them.
On the fourth day, the militants began to beat her for another refusal. She fainted, and the gunmen continued to beat her with rifle butts, her daughter said.
When Manija shouted to the Taliban to stop, they stopped the beating. Then they threw a grenade into the next room, causing a fire in the house, and fled. The mother of four children died on the spot from the beatings.
As the channel notes, since the beginning of the Taliban seizure of Afghan provinces, they began to restrict the rights of women. In particular, they are prohibited from visiting medical facilities without a male guardian.
In addition, due to the rapid takeover of the country by the Taliban, some women were left without the burqa or burka they needed to wear. One of the women said that her family only has one or two burqas that need to be divided between her, her sister and their mother.
CNN recalled that during the first seizure of the country by the Taliban, women were banned from attending schools and working. Taliban officials are now promising that these rights will remain with women, but local residents do not trust the promises of the militants.
