Farkhunda Malikzada, a 27-year-old student; and Pilot From Kabul Afghanistan.
In the pictures that are shown below, is pleading for her life. Why?, She was accused of burning the Quran (a Islamic holy book), these claims will later come out as false.
A cellphone video that was captured by a bystander which witnessed the attack, shows hundreds of mostly young men in a mob beating the young woman, with her face covered in blood.
The mob dragged Farkhunda into the street and beat and stomped her. They threw large bricks at her, then placed into the road and run over with a car.
They dragged her body from the back of a Toyota hatchback for almost 100m. Police offered no resistance, and directed traffic around the scene.
After she was confirmed dead, they decided to dump the corpse in a dry patch of the Kabul River and set it afire.
The killing of Farkhunda is a reminder of the bleak situation for women's rights in many of Islamic states. She remains a devastating symbol of how dangerous life still is for women.
