Eye for the eye

Physical punishment – mainly whipped – has been common under Taliban authorities and is employed for crimes, including theft, adultery and alcohol.
However, all the execution orders have been signed by the Taliban’s controversial Supreme Leader Halbatullah Akhundzada, who lives in the heart of the Kandahar movement.
Akhandzada ordered the judges in 2022 to fully implement all aspects of the Taliban government’s translation of Islamic law-including the punishment for “eye-for-eye”, which allowed the death penalty to avenge the murder.

Amnesty said thousands of people were not included in the 1,518 executions worldwide in 2024, who are believed to have been hanged in China.
