Virginia Tech student details horrors Afghan family experiencing after Taliban takeover

A college student at Virginia Tech whose parents emigrated from Afghanistan is detailing the horrors her relatives are experiencing as the Taliban sweeps across the country.

"He was talking to me about he’s terrified for his own life and he feels so helpless and doesn’t know what he can really do from there," Farzayee said, detailing the photos and videos she received showing how Taliban fighters were outside her cousin’s building. "He said the night before, the Taliban had come to his house and they broke a ton of windows in his neighborhood and they also broke the windows in his cars. He said all he could do was shelter in place because there’s really nothing he can do." Mariam Farzayee tells Fox News her cousin is sheltering in place outside Kabul after the Taliban came to his home and broke windows on his cars.  (Mariam Farzayee) Mariam Farzayee tells Fox News her cousin sent photos showing that protesters attempted to demonstrate in the street with the Afghanistan flag, but the Taliban fired into the crowd.  (Mariam Farzayee ) Mariam Farzayee tells Fox News her cousin sent photos showing that protesters attempted to demonstrate in the street with the Afghanistan flag, but the Taliban fired into the crowd.  (Mariam Farzayee) Mariam Farzayee tells Fox News Taliban fighters fired into a crowd of protesters, forcing crowds to disperse.   (Mariam Farzayee ) Mariam Farzayee tells Fox News Taliban fighters fired into a crowd of protesters, forcing crowds to disperse.   (Mariam Farzayee) Mariam Farzayee is president of the Afghan Student Association at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

She said he has since returned to his home not far outside of Kabul.
