Islamabad: In Afghanistan, the Taliban again carried out public executions. The accused in the murder case was publicly hanged by the authorities on Wednesday. Reports suggest that the Taliban regime is signaling that it will continue its harsh policies after taking over the country in August 2021.
The execution was carried out in Afghanistan’s western Farah province. Senior Taliban government spokesman Sabihullah Mujahid said the execution was carried out in front of hundreds of people, including senior Taliban officials from Kabul.
The Taliban spokesman also informed that the decision to execute the death penalty was after the approval of the highest courts of the country and the supreme leader of the Taliban, Mullah Haibatullah.

The Taliban carried out public executions during their rule in the 1990s. Apart from this primitive methods of punishment like whipping and stoning were also implemented. But the Taliban, who returned to power in 2021, promised to protect the rights of women and minorities.
But later, the Taliban restricted girls’ rights and freedoms, including high school education. Punishments such as public flogging were carried out on those accused of theft and extramarital affairs.
