Date: 10/10/1401 In the past two months of the current calendar year, the Taliban government has enforced laws in Afghanistan, with public executions and floggings being among the most common occurrences. According to statements from the Supreme Court of the Taliban government, over the past forty days, more than 260 individuals, including approximately fifty women, have been publicly flogged. It has been reported that these individuals were mostly flogged on charges of theft, moral corruption, drug trafficking, fleeing from home, and violating Islamic principles, with both men and women receiving between 19 to 39 lashes. These incidents have occurred in various provinces, including Kunduz, Badakhshan, Uruzgan, Paktika, Helmand, Maidan Wardak, Jowzjan, Ghazni, Khost, Zabul, Nangarhar, Parwan, Kabul, Logar, Laghman, Takhar, Bamyan, Kandahar, and Farah.

The Taliban’s widespread use of public floggings—targeting over 260 individuals, including women—demonstrates systemic violations of rights to due process, protection from cruel punishment, and personal liberty. These acts, carried out without transparent legal safeguards, reflect a broader erosion of justice and institutionalize gender-based discrimination under the guise of moral enforcement.
