A former female member of Afghanistan's now disbanded lower house of parliament, Mursal Nabidzadah, has been shot dead during a break-in at her home in the Afghan capital, Taliban officials have confirmed, SİA informs via foreign media.
Nabidzadah was shot dead along with a bodyguard when gunmen broke into her house in the Ahmad Shah Baba area of Kabul on January 15, Khalid Zadran, a Taliban spokesman for the Kabul police said. He added that Nadidzadah's brother was injured in the incident.
No further details were immediately available. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
Since returning to power in August 2021, the Taliban has taken a hard line, crushing women's rights.
In the latest move, the Taliban on December 24 banned women from working for aid groups. It followed a ban imposed earlier that month on women attending universities. Girls were stopped from attending high school in March.
