The child's name was Mahjabin Hakimi.
The coach alleged that she was beheaded in early October but the murder was unknown at the time as the softer, more gentle Taliban threatened the family not to speak of their gruesome act.
Mahjabin Hakimi, a member of the Afghan women's national volleyball team who played in the youth age group, was slaughtered by the Taliban in Kabul. She was beheaded.Mahjabin played for the Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club before the collapse of the Ashraf Ghani government, and was one of the club's star players in the Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club. The slaughter of the girl was in Kabul as the "professionals" of the Taliban went in search of female sports players, the team coach told the Persian Independent.

Two members of the team managed to flee the country while the rest of the team and her family were threatened into silence about Mahjabin Hakimi’s death.
There have been conflicting reports online suggesting the murder of the child happened August 13, in the final days of the Taliban's insurgency before seizing Kabul and given the blessings of the Biden administration who had described the Taliban's behavior as "professional."
However, a report by the Payk Investigative Journalism Center said its sources also confirmed that Hakimi “was ‘beheaded’ by the Taliban in Kabul.” The governing scumcrumpets have yet to comment.

Afzali, a pseudonym for the team's coach, told the Persian Independent that she was speaking out to highlight the risk that female sports players face, with only two of the women’s national volleyball team having managed to flee the country [while over 300 Americans plus several hundred U.S. Green Card holders are still stuck in the country due to the boundless incompetence of the Biden administration].
“All the players of the volleyball team and the rest of the women athletes are in a bad situation and in despair and fear,” she told the paper. “Everyone has been forced to flee and live in unknown places.”
One of the players who escaped, Zahra Fayazi, told the BBC last month that at least one of the players had been killed.
“We don’t want this to repeat for our other players,” she told the BBC host from her new home in the UK.
“Many of our players who are from provinces were threatened many times by their relatives who are Taliban and Taliban followers.

“The Taliban asked our players’ families to not allow their girls to do sport, otherwise they will be faced with unexpected violence,” Fayazi said.
“They even burned their sports equipment to save themselves and their families. They didn’t want them to keep anything related to sport. They are scared,” she said.
Another teammate who escaped told the BBC everyone was “shocked” when they heard that one of their team had been killed.
“I’m sure it was the Taliban,” said Sophia, a pseudonym to protect her family members still in Afghanistan. “Maybe we will lose other friends,” she said.
