Eye

The previous execution came in November 2024, when a convicted murderer was shot three times in the chest by the victim’s family in front of thousands of spectators including senior Taliban officials in a stadium in Gardez, the eastern capital of Parkatia Province.

Under the Taliban authorities, corporal punishment (mainly whipping) is common and engages in crimes, including theft, adultery and alcohol consumption.

However, all execution orders were signed by Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban’s reclusive supreme leader, who lives in the heart of the Kandahar movement.

Akhundzada in 2022 ordered a judge to fully enforce all aspects of the Taliban government’s interpretation of Islamic law, including “eye” punishment, called Qisas, that allows the death penalty for murder.

Law and order are at the heart of the serious Taliban ideology, which emerged from the chaos of the civil war after the evacuation from Afghanistan in 1989.

One of their most notorious images of the first rule depicts the execution of a woman wearing a full-coverage Burqa at the Kabul Stadium in 1999. She was accused of killing her husband.

United Nations and rights groups such as amnesty condemn the Taliban government’s use of corporal punishment and death penalty.

The NGO said in its annual report released in April that the amnesty included countries where “are known to have been imposed on death sentences after litigation that did not meet international fair trial standards.” ”

Amnesty said the global record of 1,518 executions did not include thousands of people considered to be executed in China, the world’s leading death penalty index.
