It’s being reported this morning, via The Blaze, that the Taliban executed a pregnant police officer, who worked at the local prison, in front of her husband and her children after beating her and tying up her whole family:
BBC – Taliban militants in Afghanistan have shot dead a policewoman in a provincial city, witnesses have told the BBC.
The woman, named in local media as Banu Negar, was killed at the family home in front of relatives in Firozkoh, the capital of central Ghor province.
The killing comes amid increasing reports of escalating repression of women in Afghanistan.
The Taliban denies the brutal murder, of course:
The Taliban told the BBC they had no involvement in Negar’s death and are investigating the incident.
Spokesman Zabiullah Mujaheed said: “We are aware of the incident and I am confirming that the Taliban have not killed her, our investigation is ongoing.”
He added that the Taliban had already announced an amnesty for people who worked for the previous administration, and put Negar’s murder down to “personal enmity or something else”.
Negar was eight months pregnant when she was beaten and shot dead in front of her husband and children:
Details of the incident are still sketchy as many in Firozkoh fear retribution if they speak out. But three sources have told the BBC that the Taliban beat and shot Negar dead in front of her husband and children on Saturday.
Relatives supplied graphic images showing blood spattered on a wall in the corner of a room and a body, the face heavily disfigured.
The family say Negar, who worked at the local prison, was eight months pregnant.
Three gunmen arrived at the house on Saturday and searched it before tying members of the family up, relatives say.
The intruders were heard speaking Arabic, a witness said.
Thanks to Joe Biden this is the new normal in Afghanistan. As I said in the previous post, this is his legacy. This is the Afghanistan he has given the world, and the Afghan people who are clearly suffering immensely under Taliban rule.
