According to reports, a young woman in Afghanistan’s northern Balkh province was killed by the Taliban for wearing tight clothes and not being accompanied by a male relative. ‘The woman was shot dead in the village of Samar Qand, which is controlled by Taliban,’ reported Radio Azadi in Afghanistan.
The police identified the victim as Nazanin, 21 years old. The woman was attacked as she left her house and was boarding a vehicle to Mazar-e-Sharif. Nazanin was wearing a burqa (a veil that covers the face and body) at the time of the attack, according to the police.
