Implementation of Disciplinary Punishment on Two Accused Individuals in Kunduz Province
In accordance with the decision of the Primary Court of Qala-e-Zal District, Kunduz Province, disciplinary punishments were enforced on two individuals, including one woman, accused of committing adultery. The punishments were carried out publicly on 29/11/1446 AH.
The Primary Court had sentenced the accused to three years of imprisonment each and 39 lashes as a disciplinary penalty. This ruling was executed after confirmation by the esteemed Supreme Court.
This notice documents the application of Taliban criminal justice through the combined use of public corporal punishment and custodial sentences for moral-conduct offenses. The public execution of lashes, alongside multi-year imprisonment and Supreme Court confirmation, reflects the institutionalization of punitive enforcement mechanisms that rely on physical punishment and public spectacle, applied to both women and men under Taliban judicial authority.
