Twelve people, including three women, have been publicly whipped by the Taliban forces for alleged adultery and theft in a local stadium of Logar province, on Wednesday, November 23, Taliban local officials report.

Ahamadullah Anas, the Taliban’s spokesperson for Logar police, says the Appeal Court sentenced them to 21 to 31 lashes in public.

Mr. Anas says that nearly ten thousand people attended the trial.

It’s also reported that the Talbain forces did not allow the people to take photos or videos of the flogging.

The Taliban have recently held several kangaroo courts in several other provinces, including Bamyan, Ghor, Takhar, and Badakhshan.

The Taliban have publically flogged 19 people, including nine women for not adhering to the clothing order, shaving their beards, and having western haircuts last week in northern Takhar province.
