Local officials in Afghanistan reported that a young man named Fazl Ahmad was skinned alive in a remote area of Afghanistan where thousands of years of hardscrabble tribal culture increasingly mixes with a resurgent Taliban militancy.
Ahmad was still alive and screaming when the attackers began carving the skin off his chest , leaving his heart exposed. Then they threw the 21 year-old laborer off a 10 - story cliff , officials said .
“ They skinned him alive ,” said Ruqiya Naeel , a member of parliament from the area .
The Taliban denied involvement in the grisly crime , the aftermath of which was documented in a recently circulated video and photograph.
“ The amount of casualties , particularly with civilians , is a crime — a crime against humanity , a crime against Afghanistan , and a crime against our people,” Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said , somberly , in a meeting with reporters last week.
