Taliban fighters killed a man who protested the regime’s extensive restrictions on Muharram mourning ceremonies. AHRDO identified the victim as Habib, a 30-year-old resident of Jibril, a Hazara-Shia-populated area in Herat city, and a father of two children. The incident occurred on Thursday, July 11, when Habib was riding his motorcycle in the city with a Muharram mourning flag displayed. Taliban fighters stopped him, and after a verbal dispute over the flag, they shot and killed him.
