After applying the “an eye for an eye” law, the Taliban are again killing convicts in public

THE taliban they go back to killing those condemned to death in public. For the first time since they regained control of theAfghanistanin August last year, in fact, the Taliban authorities carried out the first public death sentence🇧🇷

For man, sentenced to death for murder and robbery by a local court, public execution was imposed. The information was confirmed by the Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, who in the statement spoke of the application of the “an eye for an eye” retaliation law.

The crime dates back to five years ago, when the man, identified as Tajmir from Herat province, was arrested and accused of killing another man and stealing his motorcycle and cell phone.

“The Supreme Court has given instructions to implement the sentence in a public meeting”declared Mujahid that, in addition to being a spokesman, he also holds the position of deputy minister of Culture and Information of the new Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

The execution took place in the western province of Farah, in front of hundreds of spectators and Taliban officials, who also arrived from the capital Kabul, after the approval of three courts and the same supreme leader of the Taliban, Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada.

The return of public executions is just the latest of new increasingly fundamentalist and violent decisions taken by the Taliban and Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada.

In fact, just a few days ago, the Afghan Supreme Leader had ordered the full implementation of Islamic lawwhich includes public executions, stonings and flogging, and amputation of limbs for thieves.

When they came to power last summer, the Taliban promised a softer version of their religious dictatorship that characterized their first period in power, from 1996 to 2001, but gradually cracked down on rights and freedoms to impose Sharia law.

In fact, the Taliban leader has in recent days launched a message to impose the obligation to adopt Islamic law throughout Afghanistan, applying the Qisas or the law of “an eye for an eye”.
