The Taliban’s Supreme Court said its courts in Kabul and Nangarhar flogged three women and two men on charges of immorality, running away from home, and extramarital relations.
In separate statements on Thursday, April 16, the court said the punishments were carried out in Shakardara district of Kabul and Dara-i Noor district of Nangarhar.
According to the statement, one woman in Nangarhar was flogged in public in the presence of local officials and residents.
The individuals each received 39 lashes and were sentenced to one year and six months of enforced imprisonment.
Since late March, the Taliban have flogged at least 107 people across Afghanistan on various charges.
Despite opposition from international organisations to corporal punishment and the torture of detainees, the Taliban have continued to carry out public floggings.
