Protest against violence – Metro
25 September, 2025
Bahaar Joya was living – and working as a BBC journalist – in Kabul in 2015 when she witnessed the brutal killing of Farkhunda who was stoned and burned to death by a mob after she was falsely accused of burning the Quran. Malikzada was just 27.
Bahaar Joya went onto suffer from PTSD something that, as a result, led her to EMDR therapy.
