For the first time since seizing power, the Taliban have publicly executed a man in a staged “death show.” For those living under the Afghan regime, this week’s execution served as a gruesome reminder of an era many thought they would never see again.
For the first time since seizing power last year, the Taliban have publicly executed a man in a staged “death show.”
According to the Taliban, Tajmir had killed a man named Mustafa a few years ago and taken his motorcycle and mobile phone. A day later, the Taliban responded with another “public flogging show.” According to its supreme court, they flogged 30 people, including nine women, in public in Parwan and Paktika provinces. Various charges included robbery and extramarital sex. No details about the identity of these people were released.
“When I saw that shot in Tajmir’s head, I felt very sad, because he was also a human being. I was totally depressed,” he told the Star, speaking in Persian. He said there were about 4,000 to 5,000 people in the stadium, mostly children and teenagers. He worried that another generation will grow up with “brutal ideology.”Amrullah Saleh, vice-president of Afghanistan in the Republic era before the Taliban takeover in 2021, tweeted that the ISIS-style public executions and floggings had been started in Afghanistan by the Taliban.
“The world’s criticism of the executions in public shows that either they do not know about Islam or they have a problem with Islam.”
