The execution took place in heavy snowfall in the capital of Jawzjan province, where the brother of the murdered man shot the convict five times with a rifle, according to an eyewitness.
The Taliban held a public execution on Monday of a man convicted of murder in northern Afghanistan as thousands watched at a sports stadium, the third such death sentence to be carried out in the past five days.
The execution took place in heavy snowfall in the city of Shibirghan, the capital of northern Jawzjan province, where the brother of the murdered man shot the convict five times with a rifle, according to an eyewitness . Security around the stadium was tight, said the witness, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
It was also the fifth public execution since the Taliban seized power of Afghanistan in August 2021 as the U.S. and NATO troops were in the final weeks of their withdrawal from the country after two decades of war.
I have no love for religious fascism, but America had 42 state executions in a similar timeframe (2022-2023) also for crimes like murder, but I doubt the coverage was the same.
Proponents of the US death penalty claim it is for deterrence, so I'm not really seeing a difference. Pretty sure you can also go witness a US execution if you're so inclined.
Only to the people justifying state murder. To the person involved, they are still dead either way,
To me the Saudi.Taliban methods are more honest, though just as mortally reprehensible as the USA's. The Saudi's are proud that they murder their citizens and are not afraid to show it.
