Taliban Publicly Flogs 9 People in Kandahar City
The Taliban Supreme Court announced that the group publicly flogged nine people on charges of "theft and sexual issues" on Tuesday. According to the Taliban, the individuals had been flogged at the Ahmad Shahi Stadium in full public view in Kandahar city.
The Taliban recently increased the implementation of "Sharia laws" in public. Earlier in late 2022, the group held a ceremony with the participation of Taliban's senior officials in which they executed a person in public in Farah province.
These Taliban rulings have faced a wide range of international condemnation.
The Taliban have a history of imposing restrictions on the lives of the Afghan people based on what they consider to be the implementation of Islamic Sharia law.
At the same time, most of the Islamic countries consider the behaviour of the Taliban, especially the severe restrictions that the group has imposed on women, to be against Islamic Sharia.
