Public hangings are back in Afghanistan as the Taliban invoke Sharia law across the nation. Despite assurances that the new “kinder and gentler” Taliban would respect the rights of women and be more tolerant and inclusive, the terrorist regime has gone back to its roots.
“The group previously had engaged in cruel executions and punishments when they last controlled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. Sometimes the executions took place in front of large crowds in a stadium,” DW reports.
“Everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments,” Taliban leader Mullah Nooruddin Turabi told the AP news agency on Friday. “No one will tell us what our laws should be. We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran.”
Last week, the Taliban announced women could no longer work at or attend classes at Kabul University.
