29-year-old activist and economics lecturer Frozan Safi was shot dead in Afghanistan that destroyed her face: she is the first defender of women’s rights, reports the Guardian, to be killed since the Taliban returned to power last August. Frozan Safi had been missing for about two weeks.
Frozan Safi’s body, who disappeared on 20 October, was identified in a morgue in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan. “We recognized her from her clothes. The bullets destroyed her face,” said Safi’s sister, Rita, who is a doctor. “There were bullet wounds all over the place, too many to count, on the head, heart, chest, kidneys and legs.” Her engagement ring and purse were not there, Rita added as reported by the Guardian.
A Taliban spokesman, Qari Sayed Khosti, said four women were found dead in a house in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, among them activist Frozan Safi and that two suspects were arrested. The women were allegedly “invited into the house by the suspects”, according to the first investigations.
