Mahjabin Hakimi, a rising star of Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club, was slaughtered by the jihadists earlier this month, her coach claimed in an interview with The Persian Independent.
The girl's death is only now being reported because the Islamist militants threatened her family not to tell anyone what had happened.After the sickening photos of her severed head were reportedly posted online, the coach decided he should speak out.
'All the players of the volleyball team and the rest of the women athletes are in a bad situation and in despair and fear,' he said.
'Everyone has been forced to flee and live in unknown places.'
Mahjabin Hakimi, a rising star in the Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club, was mercilessly slaughtered by the jihadists earlier this month, her coach told The Persian Independent
Mahjabin was one of just two girls who played for the team who did not manage to escape after the fall of Kabul, her coach said
Mahjabin played volleyball for the Kabul club before the Taliban seized power from the US-backed government at the end of August.
The coach said that she was one of only two girls who had not managed to escape Afghanistan.
Conflicting claims on social media said that Mahjabin had been mysteriously killed a week before the Taliban seized Kabul.
Reports that she was beheaded have fuelled fears among other female athletes who have gone into hiding.
Under its strict interpretation of Sharia law, the Taliban does not permit women to play sport or allow them to participate in work or education.
