Rahim told Bild that the Taliban was confident that Sharia law would be implemented across Afghanistan, adding, “We have fought for this for twenty years and have lost many friends.
For the Taliban, this is a perfectly normal ‘law.'” Per Bild: “While Rahim is talking about the gruesome death sentence for homosexuals, he keeps a straight face. If the latter is chosen, the wall must be between 8 and 10 feet tall, and the victim must stand behind it and have it pushed on top of him. “For the biggest crimes, there can only be execution by stoning or hanging.”Īmong the most cruel punishments are those reserved for gay men: death by stoning, or by being crushed under a toppled wall. “For more severe deeds, we cut through the wrist, the elbow, or upper arm,” Rahim said. Under the Taliban’s system, punishments can start with removing an accused’s fingers.
In another case, a group of people were arrested after being accused of kidnapping and smuggling.
