Media reports on Thursday said that three women and eleven men, who were charged with moral crimes were publicly flogged in Logar province.
Taliban are becoming more defiant in embracing the policies of the past, US special envoy Rina Amiri has said, condemning the reports of public flogging in eastern Logar province, amid the growing concern over the human rights situation in Afghanistan. This is both appalling and a dangerous sign that the Taliban are becoming more defiant in showing the world that they are embracing the policies of the past. It didn’t end up well before & it will once again take the country on a perilous path,” US envoy Amiri said in a tweet.
Media reports on Thursday said that three women and eleven men, who were charged with moral crimes were publicly flogged in Logar province.
“Fourteen people, including three women were lashed in the presence of scholars, authorities and people.. for different sins including adultery, robbery and other forms of corruption in a football stadium in Logar (province),” the Supreme Court said on Twitter, as quoted by Reuters.
