| Taliban militants have executed a woman on adultery charges in Dolina District of central Ghor province. Spokesperson for the governor of Ghor province said the execution was carried out based on the order of a desert-court of Taliban in Zanu village yesterday. According to Abdul Hai Khatibi, the man who is accused of the immoral relationship with deceased Zahra is also detained by Taliban. The accused is waiting for his sentence in the custody of Taliban. The militant group has not yet commented on the report. Ghor is one of the provinces of Afghanistan where some remote areas are either under the control of Taliban or not in government control. People in those areas refer to Taliban or local Shuras (councils) for their matters instead of government. In April last year, three civilians were shot dead in another remote area of Ghor province by the orders of a local Shura (council). They were allegedly responsible for the killing two civilians. Among them, one was son of the director of the education department of Ghor province. |
