Punished in front of a crowd of thousands in the football stadium: Taliban flogged 12 people, including 3 women, on charges of theft and adultery

12 men accused of moral offenses were thrashed in front of a crowd of thousands at a football stadium in Afghanistan. Among these 12 people, 3 women are also included. According to a Taliban official, these people were accused of theft, adultery, and gay intimate. This is the second time this month that the Taliban have punished people in a public place for a crime.

Taliban spokesman Omar Mansour stated the incident that took place in the Logar area of ​​eastern Afghanistan. All three women were released after serving their sentence, he said. Some men have been sent to jail. However, it is not clear how many have been jailed. On the other hand, another Taliban official told that all the accused were given 21 to 39 lashes.

Last week also 19 people got such a punishment

According to a BBC report, a similar case had come to the fore from Takhar Province in Afghanistan last week. 19 people were punished for this. In Nuristan province, a woman was beaten for listening to music. In this way, the practice of punishing in public places started after the orders of the Supreme Leader of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada. All these punishments are being given according to Sharia law.

What is Sharia law in Afghanistan?

The Taliban had indicated in the press conference after overtaking Afghanistan that Sharia law would apply to many issues in the country. Sharia is like a legal system for the people who believe in Islam. There are laws on many big issues ranging from everyday life. Sharia is mentioned in the Quran, the holy book of Islam, as well as in the Sunna and Hadith, the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. The offenses under these laws are considered to be directly defying God. Sharia law describes the way of life.

Severe punishment for violating Sharia law

All Muslims are expected to live their lives according to these laws. Sharia law governs every aspect of a Muslim\'s daily life, including what to do and what not to do. Sharia includes laws related to family, finance, and business. Drinking, using, or smuggling drugs is one of the biggest crimes under Sharia law here. When a person breaks this law, it is considered a crime against God. This is the reason why there are strict punishment rules for these crimes.
