Taliban Publicly Flogs Woman in Faryab

The Taliban's Supreme Court in Faryab announced that a woman was flogged in public on charges of extramarital affairs and running away from home.

The Taliban’s court said in a statement on Monday that the woman had been sentenced to 30 lashes and six months in prison.

In a statement issued on Monday, the Taliban's Supreme Court said that the flogging sentence was carried out based on the decision of the Faryab Province Court of Appeal.

It is said that this woman was punished in the presence of Taliban officials and a large number of people.

After regaining control of Afghanistan, the Taliban has repeatedly punished individuals on various charges in public.

Human rights organisations consider corporal punishment of individuals to be contrary to international law and human dignity and call for an end to it.
