Taliban Flogs 6 People Publicly in Khost Province
On Sunday, the Taliban's Supreme Court announced that six individuals were publicly flogged on charges of "deception”.
According to the statement, the flogging sentence was issued by the lower court in Khost province, with Taliban officials present during its execution.
Human rights organisations and the international community have consistently urged the Taliban to halt the cruel and inhumane punishments of the accused.
However, the Taliban responded that they are implementing Islamic Sharia law and that countries and international organisations should not interfere in Afghanistan's internal affairs.
