Mujahid said the decision to sentence was taken very carefully. The executions were carried out following the approval of the country’s three highest courts and the Taliban’s supreme leader, Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada. The man who was hanged has been identified as Tajmir of Herat province. He was convicted five years ago for killing another person and stealing his motorcycle and mobile phone. The victim has been identified as Mustafa, a resident of Farah province.
Punishment has been given earlier also
Mujahid said Taliban security forces had arrested Tajannir after the victim’s family made allegations. In the statement, he did not say when the arrest took place, but did say that Tajmir had allegedly confessed to the crime of murder. During the Taliban regime in the late 1990s, criminals were punished in courts by public hanging, flogging and stoning.
Taliban rained whips
After 20 years from Afghanistan, in 2021, after the exit of US and NATO troops, the Taliban captured. The Taliban had talked about protecting the rights of women and minorities while establishing their power. However, it was observed that he restricted the education of girls after class six. Along with this, he punished many men and women accused of theft, adultery or running away from home by flogging.
