Taliban Flogs Four People on Charges of Adultery in Kabul

The Taliban’s Supreme Court announced that the group has flogged four people, including a woman, on charges of "debauchery” in the Paghman district of Kabul province.

According to the Taliban statement, these people were detained in the Qargha area of Kabul city. The Taliban have sentenced them to three months in prison.

According to the Taliban’s supreme court, these people had been flogged in the presence of the group’s officials and the public.

Shortly after taking over Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban started rolling out corporal punishment for Afghan citizens.

Human rights groups have expressed concerns that under the Taliban reign, those detained have no access to due processes.

These groups have condemned the corporal punishment of Afghan citizens.
