More than 5,000 calls and messages bombarded Marzieh Hamidi’s phone in the days after the Afghan Taekwondo champion dared to suggest that her home country’s men’s cricket team didn’t represent her – an athlete forced into exile by the Taliban’s ban on women’s sport.
“We have your location. We will share it for the highest bidder,” one wrote to her.
“I will cut your head off.”
“Where do you want me to rape you?” another message read.
Banned from representing her home country, she said she was treated like a foreigner by her former Olympic teammates representing Afghanistan, all men.
“They are the Taliban team for me, not the Afghan team,” she said, a similar accusation she has leveled against the Afghan cricket team, calling for Afghan sports teams to be banned from the Olympics, following bans on South Africa during the apartheid era.
“At the same time they are coming (to international competitions), the Taliban are killing many women in Afghanistan,” she said.

Imagine if we could have simply sent that all to Ukraine.
To be sold by corrupt Ukrainian generals to the black market? And some of them ending back in Afghanistan anyway?

Um…your arranged husband would never be your boyfriend. Straight from nothing to fiancé to husband.
And I think you’d be surprised at how much being horny can transcend even the fear of death. Especially when the future just looks like endless misery.
