What took place at the soccer stadium? Chapter11

One Friday afternoon they follow a crowd of thousands filling the stands of a sports stadium. They dodge the Taliban soldiers at the entrance and slip in, thinking it’s a soccer match where they could make a lot of money. However, no one cheers and the men look unhappy to be there. Several prisoners are brought onto the field. One man is untied and bent over a heavy table. A soldier lowers a sword on the man’s arm. Blood flies in every direction. Shauzia starts screaming. The rest of the stadium is quiet. The soldiers proclaim that these men are thieves, that is why their hands are being cut off. Parvana sees a young Talib man holding a rope strung with four severed hands, like beads on a necklace.
