Taliban to Conduct Public Execution in Western Afghanistan

Taliban to Conduct Public Execution in Western Afghanistan
…………..

The Taliban plan to carry out a public execution on Thursday in Badghis province, the latest in a series of public punishments since their return to power, as reported by Amu.

Local police said the condemned man was convicted of murder and will be executed by qisas — a form of retributive justice under Islamic law — in a stadium in Qala-e-Naw, the provincial capital.

Since August 2021, the Taliban have resumed public executions and corporal punishment despite global criticism. Their Supreme Court says at least 177 qisas rulings have been issued in four years, with 10 executions carried out so far.
