On Friday, 30 May 2024, according to the decision of the Primary District Court of Imam Sahib District in Kunduz province, four individuals accused of adultery, sodomy, and child molestation were publicly subjected to discretionary punishment.
Notes on Decree
The public administration of flogging for offenses including adultery, sodomy, and child molestation in Kunduz reflects the Taliban's continued reliance on discretionary corporal punishment without adherence to due process standards. Such actions raise serious human rights concerns, particularly regarding the absence of fair trials and the use of punishments that may constitute cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment
