The Taliban's Supreme Court said in a press release on Wednesday (9 December) that these individuals have been sentenced to 25 to 39 lashes and one to three years in prison.


The press release states that five people, including two women, were punished in the Guspandi district of Sar-e Pol province on charges of sexual relations outside of marriage.


At the same time, the court announced in a separate press release that a woman and a man were publicly flogged on charges of "illicit relations" in the Behsood district of Maidan Wardak province. These individuals have been sentenced to one and one-and-a-half years in prison.


The Taliban flogged these individuals publicly at a time when the United Nations marked International Human Rights Day with the slogan "Our Basic Needs." Access to fair trial and respect for human dignity are fundamental rights and basic needs of human societies; rights that the Taliban have not paid attention to during four years of rule in Afghanistan.


After retaking power in Afghanistan, the Taliban have repeatedly flogged accused individuals publicly and executed 12 people in the presence of hundreds of spectators. The most recent execution took place a few days ago in the Khost sports stadium in the presence of about 80,000 people.


International human rights organizations consider the implementation of corporal punishments and executions to be contrary to international laws and human dignity and have called for their cessation; but the Taliban say that these actions are in accordance with Sharia and they will not back down from carrying them out.

Simultaneous with International Human Rights Day, the Taliban's Supreme Court has stated in a press release that seven people, including three women, have been publicly flogged in Sar-e Pol and Maidan Wardak provinces on charges of illicit relations.
