Accident – Death – Obituary News :

Public Execution in Northern Afghanistan

In a chilling display of brutality, the Taliban carried out a public execution on Monday in northern Afghanistan. The incident took place in the city of Shibirghan, the capital of northern Jawzjan province, amidst heavy snowfall at a sports stadium. Thousands of spectators watched as the brother of the murdered man shot the convict five times with a rifle, according to an eyewitness.

Security Tight at the Stadium

Security around the stadium was tight during the execution, with measures in place to ensure the safety of all present. The witness who provided the account of the event spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation. This development marks the third death sentence to be carried out by the Taliban in the past five days, raising concerns about the return of severe punishments in public.

Taliban’s Return to Harsh Rule

Despite initial promises of a more moderate rule, the Taliban has swiftly reverted to carrying out severe punishments in public, including executions, floggings, and stonings. This shift in governance has sparked fear and unease among the population, reminiscent of the harsh rule imposed by the Taliban in the late 1990s. The swift return to such practices has raised alarms about the future under Taliban rule.

Approval from High Courts and Taliban Supreme Leader

According to a statement, Monday’s death sentence was carried out following approval by three of the country’s highest courts and the Taliban supreme leader, Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada. The executed man, identified as Nazar Mohammad from Faryab province, had killed Khal Mohammad in Jawzjan. The execution serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of defying the Taliban’s strict laws.

International Criticism and Calls for Change

The United Nations has strongly condemned the Taliban for their public executions, lashings, and stonings since seizing power. The international community has urged the Taliban to halt such practices and respect human rights. The continued displays of brutality have drawn widespread criticism and concern for the well-being of the Afghan people under Taliban rule.
