AFGHANISTAN: TALIBAN PUBLICLY FLOGS MAN IN GHAZNI
November 13, 2024: The Taliban on November 11, 2024 publicly flogged a man in Ghazni province, southeastern Afghanistan, on charges of “moral corruption.” In a statement, the Taliban Supreme Court announced that the man was publicly flogged in the Qara Bagh district of Ghazni on November 11. The man was sentenced to 30 lashes and 29 days in prison following a ruling by the provincial Criminal Court, the court said. This is the latest incident of corporal punishment carried out by the Taliban. In recent weeks, the Taliban have flogged hundreds of individuals, including women and LGBTQ+ people, on charges the regime deems as “moral corruption.” (Source: Kabul Now, 12/11/2024)
