They say laughter drives fear away and that’s what he cultivated Nazar mohamed until the last minutes of his life. The actor, famous in Afghanistan, was shot and beheaded by the Taliban. The reason: he made fun of them on TikTok.

Khasha Zwan, a nickname he chose for his social media character, had a wife, daughters and a prosperous life before the extremist group arrived. He lived in Kandahar, the most populous city in the country after the capital Acceptance. There he was kidnapped by the Taliban.

A video that shows this moment allows us to appreciate how, far from being intimidated, Mohammad mocks Taliban inside car that allegedly takes him to his place of execution. Two fundamentalists surround him and the comedian continues his jokes, while one of his captors slaps him twice and another takes a Kalashnikov rifle to scare him and persuade him not to escape.

Nazar Mohammad was known in Afghanistan for use humor to criticize aspects of the social and cultural life of the country. And a permanent target of his parodies it was the taliban, which he criticized for their violence and their ultra-conservative positions. He did it on social media through dance and song.

However, in recent days the version has emerged that the comedian had worked for the National Police, for which he had doubly become a target of revenge from extremists.

“He was executed because he mocked the Taliban leaders”

“Khasa Zwan was executed because he mocked the Taliban leadership,” said deputy director of Human Rights Watch for Asia, Patricia grossman. “His murder and other recent human rights violations demonstrate the will of the Taliban commanders to crush the slightest criticism or objection “added.

Before conquering Kabul and establishing a de facto new Islamic emirate, the Taliban took control of all Afghan cities. In one of these operations, Mohammad was kidnapped.

His murder took place 22nd of July. The extremist group initially denied the execution, before finally acknowledging it. According to ABC, fundamentalists tried to justify the attack on the accusation that Mohammad was involved in the torture and murder of several Taliban.

The end of the comedian was tragic. Over the past few hours, photos have circulated where he is seen leaning against a tree, then lying on the ground with his throat slit.
