The Taliban Supreme Court announced the public flogging of two individuals, a man and a woman, in Parwan province.
The residents of Sayed Khel district were punished after being accused of having an “illicit relationship”.
Public corporal punishment is part of the Taliban’s judicial policy, which has faced widespread international condemnation. However, the Taliban insist on implementing Sharia law according to their interpretation.
Human rights organizations and the UN have repeatedly called for an end to public corporal punishments, yet the practice continues across various provinces of Afghanistan.
