BBC presents story of Afghan woman persecuted by Taliban without mentioning the word 'sharia' or 'islam'
On 14 August 2021, the night before the Taliban took control of Kabul, Shabhnam Dawran was preparing to present the prime time news show on Tolo News and Radio Television Afghanistan.
In recent days, the Taliban had swept across Afghanistan and had now reached the outskirts of the capital.
When she woke the next morning, Kabul had fallen to the militant group.
A Taliban member, with the group's black and white flag behind him, was now sitting in the same seat in the studio where Shabhnam had sat the night before.
