| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Taliban authorities publicly executed a convicted murderer by gunfire in a sports stadium on Monday, officials said, the third death penalty carried out in Afghanistan in a matter of days. The man - found guilty of a January 2022 knife murder - was executed in northern Sheberghan city on a death warrant signed by Taliban chief Hibatullah Akhundzada, a Supreme Court statement said. The statement identified the condemned man as Nazar Muhammad and said his case "was examined very thoroughly and repeatedly". He was shot five times in front of the family of his victim - including women and children - as well as thousands of onlookers in the stadium, a local provincial official told AFP.

| #1 I could accept a toned down version of this here in the USA. Given the current US justice system takes 20+ years. As I have said in the past. I support a mandate that the execution of a murderer should be in the same general physical manner used to kill the victim(s) and all appeals held within 5 years. |
