TikTok comedian executed by the Taliban
Known online as Khasha Zwan, Nazar Mohammad was reportedly arrested by militants at the end of July 2021 as the Taliban prepared to take over Afghanistan.
A video that continues to spiral the internet displays Khasha Zwan sitting in the backseat of a vehicle alongside two Taliban fighters.
As the two men are slapping and abusing him in the footage, Khasha Zwan was later killed as per The Associated Press.

The video footage of his arrest supposedly shows Nazar mocking them until he was murdered.
According to The Associated Press, a Taliban spokesperson named Zabihullah Mujahid reportedly stated that the Taliban should have arrested the comedian and brought him before a Taliban court, as opposed to killing him.
Mujahid also said that the men have been arrested and will be tried.
