Cruel punishment for adultery: Taliban want to stone women again. Taliban leader Hibatullah Achundsada announced that he would resolutely enforce the Islamic criminal justice system.
This also includes the public stoning of women for adultery, said the Afghan head of state. In 2023, the human rights organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) called the treatment of women and girls by the Taliban a “crime against humanity’. HRW called the situation in Afghanistan in 2023 one of the “worst humanitarian crises” in the world.
