On Friday, the Taliban publicly flogged three individuals aged between 15 and 24 in the Dawlat Yar district of Ghor province.

The Taliban's information and culture office in Ghor province, without mentioning the charges against them, stated that the sentence for these individuals was carried out in the presence of the group's officials.

Local sources told Afghanistan International that after Friday prayers, the Taliban flogged these individuals at the grand mosque of Dawlat Yar district.

According to the sources, the Taliban lashed each of these individuals 39 times.

From time to time, the Taliban publicly flogs citizens in several cities on various charges.

Despite criticisms of public punishments by the Taliban, the group has continued to punish citizens in this manner. Human rights defenders say that the accused do not have access to lawyers and fair trials.
