Shukria Tabassum (Dari: شکریه تبستم) was the daughter of Ramazan Ali from Afghanistan born in Jaghori district of Ghazni Province. She was killed in the 2015 Zabul beheading.[1]
Childhood and murder[edit]
Shukria Tabassum belonged to the Hazara ethnic group of Afghanistan. She was a student who at the age of 9 was kidnapped by ISIS in Afghanistan. During a journey from Jaghori to Quetta, Pakistan all seven ethnic Hazara passengers were captured in the valley of Zabul, Afghanistan.[2]
Tabassum and six other passengers who were kidnapped were later decapitated. After they were killed, the kidnappers (known as members of ISIS) dropped their bodies in a hospital in Zabul Valley. The other Hazaras received the news and reached to Zabul to collect their bodies.
Eponymous movement[edit]
After the beheading of all seven kidnap victims, around 20,000 demonstrators gathered in Kabul to protest against government policies and the administration, in a series of protests called the Tabassum movement, named in memory of Shukria Tabassum.[3][4]
