In an interview with the Persian Independent, Suraya Afzali (a pseudonym), one of the coaches of the Afghan women's national volleyball team, confirmed that the athlete had been killed, but said that no one other than Mahjabin's family knew the exact time and manner of the incident. Mahjabin played for the Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club before the collapse of the previous Afghan government and was one of the club's most successful players.

Suraya Afzali said the murder of Mahjabin Hakimi probably took place in early October, and that the issue remained hidden because her family had been threatened not to talk to anyone about it. According to Afzali, after the collapse of the previous government, female athletes across Afghanistan faced a serious security threat, and the Taliban pursued them and searched the homes of a number of them in various cities. Many female athletes, especially members of the Afghan women's volleyball team who have competed in foreign and domestic competitions and appeared in media programs, are under serious threat.

The coach of the Afghan women's national volleyball team said that only two of the team's players were able to leave Afghanistan through personal action, and the rest of the team members inside Afghanistan are in danger and panic. "All the players of the volleyball team and the rest of the women athletes are in a bad situation and in despair and fear," Ms. Afzali said. "Everyone has been forced to flee and live in unknown places."

Efforts by members of the Afghan women's national volleyball team to gain the support of foreign organizations and countries to leave Afghanistan have so far been unsuccessful. Mahjabin's death has fueled fears of being targeted by the Taliban and individuals who have long sought to disrupt women's sports. With the Taliban taking control of Afghanistan, all women's activities in the sports, political and social spheres have ceased, and there are still concerns about continuing restrictions on the lives and work and safety of women active in the social arena.

The Afghan National Women's Volleyball Team was first established in 1978 and ceased operations from 1992 to 2002 due to the civil war and then the Taliban rule. The Afghan women's national volleyball team played in two age groups, adults and youth, and had 14 members in each age group. The team participated in a number of international competitions each year, and in some competitions in the region, it also won awards. The team's participation in international competitions has always been widely supported inside Afghanistan, and the presence of Afghan girls in international competitions has been cited as a sign of efforts to strengthen the position of women in traditional Afghan society.
