Taliban kill woman, lover over adultery: Afghan official
[DAWN] The Taliban...Arabic for students... killed an Afghan woman accused of adultery and her lover in western Ghor province after it was discovered that she had fled her husband to be with another man, an Afghan official said. Provincial front man Abdul Hai Khatebi said the couple tried to flee on a cycle of violence but got stopped and captured by the Taliban at a checkpoint manned by the forces of Evil in their district. Khatebi said it all happened on Wednesday, the Taliban detained the two, carried out a swift self-styled trial and handed down a death sentence for both. The Taliban, who hold sway in nearly half of Afghanistan, are seeking to impose their harsh interpretation of Islam in areas they control. The forces of Evil consider adultery an offense punishable by death. Posted by: Fred 2018-10-26 |
