Shukria Tabassum (Dari: شکریه تبسم) was a Hazara victim killed in the 2015 Zabul massacre in Zabul, Afghanistan.[1] The Tabassum movement was named after her.
Childhood and murder[edit]
Shukria Tabassum belonged to the Hazara ethnic group of Afghanistan, and was born in Jaghori District of Ghazni Province. She was the daughter of Ramazan Ali. She was a student who at the age of 9 was kidnapped by the Islamic State (IS) 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 executed. After they were killed, the kidnappers (known as IS members) 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 execution 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]
