Decree Translation
Date : 24/11/1445
On Monday, June 2, 2024, based on the decision of the Primary District Court of Hesa-i-Dowm in Kapisa province, two individuals accused of illicit relationships were publicly subjected to a discretionary punishment of 18 lashes each.
Notes on Decree
The public flogging of two individuals in Kapisa for alleged illicit relationships exemplifies the Taliban’s ongoing use of corporal punishment in lieu of formal judicial procedures. These actions undermine fair trial guarantees and reflect the erosion of personal autonomy and gender equality under the current regime, while reinforcing a pattern of cruel and degrading treatment
