Expert: reports on the decapitation of the Afghan volleyball player are not confirmed, which does not change the essence of the Taliban policy
23 October 2021
On October 21, the New York Post reported that the members of the Taliban terrorist movement were ahead of the member of the National Youth Women's team of Afghanistan in Voleibula Mahajabid Haki. Information about the decapitation of the athletes was also published by such publications as The Times of India , The Tribune , DNA , The Bridge , Fox Sports and others.
According to Inside The Games, the coach has been distributed about execution on anonymous conditions. He said that the volleyball player was executed in early October, and all this time the relatives of the murdered were silent, as the Taliban militants were intimidated.
Later, the Indian portal of Alt News, specializing in factskeeping and identifying fake news, published a refutation of news of the decapitation of Mahajabid Hakim. The publication drew attention to the fact that several users of social networks at once put the media report about the death of Hakim to doubt. According to users, the athlete died not in October, but in the first week of August - until the Taliban took control of the capital of Afghanistan.
Journalist Dipa Prent, in particular, wrote that she had talked with Mahajabid relatives, who stated that the news about her death was "misleading."
Guys, Spoke to a Family Member of Ms. Hakimi and have Deleted the Tweets ABOUT HER Death. Please Consider The Family's Request and Delete Them too. The News ABOUT THE CAUSE of Her Death Isleading. Please Do Pray for Her Peace. Rip
A number of journalists and public figures, among whom-the ex-head of the Tolo News Miraca, came across an activist of the rights of Afghan women of the important FROG and the reporter Etilaatroz Zaki Daryabi , said that the death of Mahjabin was suicide.
In addition, Alt News found on Facebook the profile of the brother of the athlete of the scandar Hakim. On August 7, he changed the photograph of the profile to the black image. More than 100 people left comments with condolences in Persian under the photo. “Accept my sincere condolences in connection with the death of your dear sister,” one of the users wrote.
Two days after this, the scandar published a photo of Mahajabid in military equipment and wrote: "I will always be proud of you, dear sister."
In a conversation with The Insider, a researcher at the Washington Institute of Middle Eastern Policy Anna Borschevskaya, referring to Afghan sources, emphasized that information about the decapitation of Mahajabid Haki may really not be true.
“Afghan sources describe this story somewhat differently [than the story of the decapitation of the Taliban]. They say that, unfortunately, the girl committed suicide a few days before the Taliban seized power. Of course, this does not deny the fact that the Taliban clearly create a gender aparteid in the country and roll back the progress achieved by the country over the past twenty years, ”the expert said.
On October 20, the Taliban terrorist delegation held consultations in Moscow with the leadership of the Russian Foreign Ministry with the participation of representatives of other countries of the region. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called representatives of the Taliban "respected delegation."
The next day, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is inclined to make a decision on the exclusion of Taliban from the list of terrorist organizations. He emphasized that the country is cooperating with the representatives of Taliban, invites them to Moscow and is in contact with them in Afghanistan itself.
