Tweet on Twitter in Response to the deputy of the Taliban’s Supreme Court of the Taliban.
‘’ What barbaric Neanderthals the Taliban are. They can NEVER be accepted into the international community every claim that they have changed has been proven wrong’’
The deputy of the Taliban’s Supreme Court said: ‘’that the Taliban regime’s courts across Afghanistan have issued 175 executions (punishable by retaliation), 37 stonings, and 4 sentences of knocking down a wall on the convicts in the past 20 months, since the Taliban return to power. He says that some of these sentences have been implemented, while others are ready to be executed.’’
According to Human Rights Watch report of May-08-2023
”A new report by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) highlights Taliban human rights violations that have received little attention: the use of corporal punishment and the death penalty.”
”Since the Taliban takeover in August 2021 until November 2022, UNAMA documented 18 cases of corporal punishment, all lashings and mostly for so-called moral crimes. These include punishments for sex outside of marriage and for girls and women “running away” from their homes, often to escape domestic violence (acts the former government also prosecuted). Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are also at high risk under the Taliban and have been subjected to lashings.”
”Corporal punishment increased significantly since November 2022 when the Taliban’s leader called on judges to impose it whenever “Sharia [Islamic law] conditions … are met.” More of these punishments are also being carried out in public, including 27 people lashed in a sports stadium in Parwan on
December 8.”
”These numbers do not take into account the many ad hoc beatings that Taliban authorities mete out against protesters and journalists for criticizing Taliban policies.”
