The Taliban Executes Man in Public at Shibirghan Stadium
In a chilling display of power, the Taliban carried out a public execution of a man convicted of murder in northern Afghanistan. The event took place at the sports stadium in Shibirghan, the capital of Jawzjan province, amidst heavy snowfall. As thousands of spectators looked on, the brother of the murdered man fired five shots from a rifle at the convict, bringing a swift end to his life.
The atmosphere at the stadium was tense, with tight security measures in place to prevent any disturbances. An eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous, recounted the harrowing scene, highlighting the brutal nature of the Taliban’s justice system. This incident marked the third public execution in just five days, raising concerns about the return of oppressive practices under Taliban rule.
Severe Punishments Resurface Under Taliban Rule
The resurgence of public executions, floggings, and stonings under the Taliban’s rule has sent shockwaves through Afghanistan. Despite initial promises of a more moderate approach, the Taliban has swiftly reverted to imposing harsh penalties on those deemed guilty of crimes. This shift towards draconian measures mirrors the oppressive tactics employed during their previous reign in the late 1990s.
Legal Approval for Public Execution
The Taliban justified Monday’s public execution by citing approval from three of the country’s highest courts and their supreme leader, Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada. The executed man, identified as Nazar Mohammad from Faryab province, had committed the murder in Jawzjan. This coordinated effort to carry out the death sentence highlights the Taliban’s firm grip on enforcing their version of justice.
Global Outcry Against Barbaric Practices
The United Nations has condemned the Taliban’s public executions, lashings, and stonings as barbaric and inhumane. The international community has urged the Taliban to put an end to these brutal practices and uphold basic human rights. As the world watches in horror, the fate of Afghanistan hangs in the balance under the Taliban’s oppressive regime.
