A female Afghan refugee using the name “Muskan” told India’s News18 on Saturday that Taliban fighters are raping both live women and the dead bodies of their victims.
News18’s account described Muskan as a “girl” who left her job in Afghanistan and fled to New Delhi after “her life was threatened by a Jihadist group.” The article did not say exactly when she left Afghanistan.
“When we were there, we received numerous warnings. If you go to work, you are under threat, your family is under threat. After one warning, they would stop giving any warning,” Muskan said.
“They rape dead bodies too. They don’t care whether the person is dead or alive. Can you imagine this?” she added.
Muskan claimed the Taliban is seizing women from “each household” in towns they conquered and planned a “horrible destiny” for any women suspected of working for the U.S.-supported Afghan federal government.

News18 noted that Shabana Basij-Rasikh, founder of Afghanistan’s only all-girls boarding school, burned the records of her students last week to protect them from the Taliban.
Basij-Rasikh sadly recalled building schools for girls from scratch after Afghanistan was liberated from the Taliban in 2002.
“Thousands of Afghan girls were invited to go to the nearest public school to participate in a placement test because the Taliban had burned all female students’ records to erase their existence. I was one of those girls,” she said, mourning the necessity of burning records today not to erase the memory of her students, but to protect them.
