Twenty-seven people were lashed in public on Thursday in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan as punishment for alleged adultery, theft, drug offenses and other crimes, according to a court official.
Afghanistan’s new authorities have implemented hard-line policies since they took over the country in August 2021 that have underlined their interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.
The execution was met with international criticism. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "the death penalty cannot be reconciled with full respect for the right to life," spokeswoman Stephanie Tremblay said. Mujahid pointed out that capital punishment was practiced in many other countries including the United States.
