The Taliban group has reported that the fighters of this group have publicly whipped two women and three men in Zabul province.
Mawlawi Rahmatullah Hemmad Niazi, the head of information and culture of the Taliban in Zabul Province, says that this group has whipped two women and one man on the charge of adultery and at the same time two other men on the charge of theft in public.
According to him, these people were found guilty in the Taliban court and sentenced to 21 to 39 lashes each, and their sentences were executed on Sunday, 7, August.
This member of the Taliban group added that two women and a man accused of adultery were flogged in public and each was sentenced to two years in prison. Two men accused of theft have been sentenced to two months in prison while being flogged in public.
The Taliban group recently flogged three people in Nangarhar on charges of committing adultery and three others in Kandahar on charges of adultery and theft. Also, they whipped a man and a woman in charge of adultery in Ghor province.
The Taliban group stoned 35-year-old Karima to death last winter in Nusay district of Badakhshan province, and a few days ago in the same area, they publicly whipped two women due to a family dispute.
After nearly a year since the Taliban regained power, this group has intensified the desert court of women, which includes stoning, whipping in public, detention, torture, and imprisonment without examining the case and going through the legal procedures of the cases as well as imposing severe restrictions on women’s daily lives and depriving them of their presence and activities in society.
