The real face of Taliban, infamous throughout the world for its cruel and violent laws, is now beginning to be revealed to the world.
The dark truth of the Talibani government, which pretends to be good, has once again come to light.
The Taliban regime publicly executed two men convicted of a murder at a football stadium in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday, AFP reports.
The death orders of these two people were signed by the supreme leader of Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada. The Taliban has once again proved that it sticks to its old tradition of taking an eye for an eye.
Supreme Court official Atiqullah Darwish read aloud the death warrant signed by Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada before the two men were gunned down in the city of Ghazni, according to an AFP journalist at the scene.
“Both of these men were convicted of murder,” Darwish said. “The order was signed by the court after two years of hearing.” Thousands of people had gathered in the stadium on the orders of the Taliban government to watch the spectacle of the death of these two.
The family members of the culprits were also present
The families of the victims of the convicted persons were present and they were asked if they wanted to say anything to their families in their last moments. But he refused to say anything.
It is noteworthy that the Taliban has not been officially recognized by any other government since taking power in Kabul in 2021 and imposing a strict interpretation of Islam.
Akhundzada, the Taliban’s supreme leader, ordered judges in 2022 to fully implement all aspects of Islamic law – including “an eye for an eye” punishment, known locally as “qisas.”
In Afghanistan, Taliban has implemented very strict rules in its laws. Which includes death and corporal punishment. Such as flogging, stoning on the road and murder. Public executions were common in Afghanistan during the Taliban’s first rule from 1996 to 2001.
It is being told that the death penalty given to two murder convicts on February 22 is the third and fourth death sentences given by Taliban officials after returning to power.
The first two were also convicted of murder. The last execution was carried out in June 2023, when a convicted murderer was shot dead in front of about 2,000 people on the grounds of a mosque in Laghman province.
Whipping punishment for theft and drinking alcohol
However, other crimes including theft, adultery and alcohol consumption are punished by public flogging.
Apart from this, the Taliban government has also banned girls and women from high schools and universities. They have been banned from going to parks, entertainment fairs and gyms.
