The Taliban put an alleged murderer to death in the first public execution held in Afghanistan since the Islamist group returned to power.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the man was shot three times by the father of his alleged victim in an execution attended by senior Taliban officials in southwestern Farah province. The man had been accused of stabbing the victim to death in 2017 and stealing a cell phone and bicycle.
We wanted his punishment to be death so that it could be a lesson for others like him,” she said. Among the senior Taliban officials present at the execution were the acting chief justice, deputy prime minister, acting interior minister and the deputy governor of Farah province.
