Taliban Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada ordered last month to fully implement some aspects of the islamic law ica such as public executions, stoning, flogging or, in the case of thieves, amputation of limbs. The Sunni Islamist movement he had already carried out several public floggings, but this execution, which occurred in Farah (west) is the first since the Taliban regained power. The man’s name was Tajmir, he lived in Herat province and was convicted of a murder committed in 2001. “The high court was instructed to apply this ‘qisas’ order during a public gathering of the inhabitants,” said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. The ‘qisas’ is an Islamic principle similar to the law of retaliation, which consists of making the offender suffer damage similar to the one he caused.

Condemn “despicable practice” Human rights activist Ogai Amil said that this Wednesday’s execution reminded her of previous ones, when the Taliban used to ask the public to come. “The Taliban seeks to return to its retrograde and violent practices of the 1990s 112″, said the spokesman for the US State Department, Ned Price, who described the execution as “despicable”. A spokesperson for the Secretary General of The UN, Antonio Guterres, also expressed his “deep concern”: “We call for a reinstatement of the moratorium on capital punishment” in Afghanistan. With this execution, “Hibatullah Akhundzada remembers that the only “valid” law is that of God and that men should not interpret it”, analyzed Karim Pakzad, a researcher at the French Institute of International and Strategic Relations. Upon returning to power after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban promised soften the application of the sharia law, the ideological basis of the movement that authorizes this type of practice.
