According to the sources, severe signs of torture were evident on the body, and he was killed after enduring brutal violence.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the provided information, the perpetrators peeled the skin off his face, cut off his nose, and gouged out his eyes, raising further concerns about the increase in targeted violence and serious crimes in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Juma Gul Niazi, the father of the young man, had posted on Facebook about his son\u2019s disappearance. He wrote that Mohammad Shehzad Niazi left home on the 9th of Sawr to go to school and did not return.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, sources in Kunar province have reported the discovery of the beheaded body of a child in the Nawabad area, the provincial center. No further details about the child\u2019s identity or circumstances of the incident have been released.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, there have been reports of increasing disappearances of children across several provinces, a matter causing widespread concern among families. Despite these shocking incidents, the Taliban administration has so far not provided a clear explanation, and their silence has drawn criticism from citizens and social activists.<\/p>\n<p>Social experts emphasize that ensuring the security of citizens, especially children and teenagers, is one of the fundamental responsibilities of any ruling authority, and a lack of response to such incidents can further undermine public trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dismembered body of a missing young man was found in Kabul amid rising violence.
