Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada announced over the weekend that the group would begin enforcing its interpretation of Sharia law in Afghanistan, including the reintroduction of public flogging and stoning of women. for adultery.
In a recording broadcast on Taliban-controlled Afghanistan Television last Saturday, Akhundzada said: “We will flog the women… we will stone them to death in public [for adultery”.
The Taliban once again angered the world by issuing a decree to stone adulterous women to death. This brutal decree came just months after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, sending the country back to the darkest days of their rule.
According to sources, this decree is based on harsh Sharia law, which stipulates that adulterous women must be stoned to death. This decree has faced strong opposition from the international community, human rights organizations and the Afghan people.
Many fear that the decree will lead to a new wave of violence against Afghan women. In the past, the Taliban had a history of oppressing women, banning them from going to school, going to work, and even leaving the house without a male escort.
The decree on stoning women to death is an inhumane act and a violation of basic human rights. It shows that the Taliban has not changed its harsh and brutal nature, despite previous promises of reform.
The international community needs to speak out strongly to condemn this decree and force the Taliban to rescind it. Human rights organizations should also continue to support Afghan women in their fight for freedom and equality.
Besides the backlash from outside, many Afghans are also silently protesting this decree. They share stories and photos on social networks, calling for an end to violence against women and supporting gender equality.
Although the Taliban is trying to impose harsh Sharia law on Afghanistan, the fighting spirit of the people, especially women, will not be defeated. They will continue to fight for freedom and a brighter future for their country.
This case is an important reminder of the importance of protecting women’s rights around the world. We need to join hands to fight all forms of violence and discrimination against women, and promote gender equality for all.
