14:45Now PlayingIn a disturbing demonstration of their continued implementation of strict Sharia law, the Taliban conducted their sixth public execution since returning to power, carrying out the death sentence of Mohammad Ayaz Asad at a sports stadium in Gardez, Afghanistan. The execution, witnessed by senior Taliban officials including Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, exemplifies the regime's commitment to their harsh interpretation of Islamic law despite international condemnation. As the Taliban Supreme Court stated, "The case was meticulously examined and scrutinized by the three-stage military court of the Islamic Emirate in multiple iterations before the order of retaliation (Qisas) was issued and approved." The event, which drew crowds to the stadium despite a ban on cameras and mobile devices, has sparked strong criticism from UN officials, including Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett, who called for an immediate halt to such "atrocious punishments." This execution follows a pattern of severe public punishments by the Taliban, who have also flogged hundreds of Afghans, including women, for various "immoral crimes" such as adultery, theft, and homosexuality, with nearly 100 public floggings recorded in October alone.
