The Taliban’s reign of terror seems to have finally returned to Afghanistan. As a spokesman for the radical Islamic group explained, a person was publicly executed for the first time on Wednesday. This is a man convicted of murder from Andshil district in Herat province. The Taliban justify this with the principle of retaliation allowed in Islamic law.
After the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) declared that the terrorist group should be judged by its actions – now all fears seem to have come true. The execution took place “at a public gathering of residents,” said Taliban spokesman Sabihullah Mujahid.
Islamic just before return
In this context, the spokesperson referred to the principle of retaliation permitted under Islamic law. In mid-November, Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada called on the country’s judges to fully implement Islamic law and its list of punishments – including public executions, stoning and flogging, as well as the amputation of limbs in the case of thieves.
Since then, several people have been publicly flogged for various crimes. However, the execution in Farah is the first to be officially announced. When the radical Islamic Taliban came back to power in August last year, they initially announced that they wanted to act less harshly than during their first reign from 1996 to 2001. However, the militia is now becoming increasingly radical.
