A former Afghan MP and her bodyguard have been shot dead at her home in the capital Kabul, Afghan police have said.

Mursal Nabizada, 32, was one of the few female MPs who stayed in Kabul after the Taliban seized power in August 2021.

Former colleagues have praised Ms Nabizada as a fearless champion for Afghanistan who'd turned down a chance to leave the country.

Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, women have been removed from nearly all areas of public life.

Shukria Barakzai is a former Afghan MP - currently in London. She knew Mursal Nabizada and described what this means for women in the country.
