How brutal the Taliban has become in the country, even it is not safe for their own citizens. A member of the Afghan junior women's national volleyball team is said to have been beheaded by Taliban militants.

The Coach stated in an interview that the Taliban killed a female player named Mahjabin Hakimi earlier in October, but no one knew about it because the militants warned her family not to talk about it. Mahjabin was a high profile player for the Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club until the Ashraf Ghani government collapsed. Then, only a few days ago, photos of her chopped head and wounded neck surfaced on social media.

Only two of the Afghan women's national volleyball team's players were able to flee the country before the Taliban took total control in August, according to their coach. Mahjabin Hakimi was only one of the many unfortunate female athletes who were left behind. The Taliban have attempted to identify and hunt down female athletes since their takeover; the militants have been especially on the lookout for members of the Afghan women's volleyball team, who have previously competed in foreign and domestic competitions and appeared on media programmes, according to Afzali.

"All of the volleyball players, as well as the rest of the female athletes, are in a horrible condition, despairing and terrified," Afzali told the Persian Independent. "Everyone has been compelled to leave and seek refuge underground."

The Afghan national women's volleyball team was founded in 1978 and has long functioned as a source of inspiration and empowerment for young Afghan women. However, Mahjabin's killing has heightened worries of Taliban assassination. Members of the squad have been unsuccessful in getting the assistance of international organizations and nations to flee Afghanistan.

All women's sports, political, and social activities have stopped since the Taliban took the power in Afghanistan. The great majority of Afghan girls are still denied access to secondary education.
