Taliban publicly flogged 12 people, including a woman, on various charges in Firozkoh city, the capital of Ghor province. Abdul Wahid Hamas, a spokesperson for the Taliban governor in Ghor, said that these people have been punished for "theft and sexual relations".
In the last two months, the Taliban has resumed punishing Afghan citizens through radical practices and many believe that the group has returned to their 1990s era.
In recent months, the Taliban have flogged several Afghan citizens in different parts of Afghanistan.
The Taliban’s implementation of punishment such as execution in public has been widely condemned internationally.
The Taliban announced on Wednesday that the group members have publicly flogged 27 people, including two women, on various charges in Helmand and Zabul provinces.
