The Taliban lashed three women and nine men in front of hundreds of spectators in a provincial sports stadium Wednesday, signaling the religious extremist group's resumption of a brutal form of punishment that was a hallmark of their rule in the 1990s.

The office of the governor of Logar province, south of the capital of Kabul, invited “honorable scholars, mujahideen, elders, tribal leaders and local people” to the stadium in the town of Pul Alam in Logar. The invitations for the 9 a.m. event were extended via social media.

Those being punished received between 21 and 39 lashes each, after being convicted in a local court of theft and adultery, said an official in the governor’s office who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to share details with the media. The official said hundreds of people attended the lashings and that a ban was imposed on taking photos and video.Such public lashings, as well as public executions and stonings for purported crimes, were common during the first period of Taliban rule, from 1996 until 2001 when the militants were driven out in a U.S.-led invasion.

After a 20-year insurgency, the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, coinciding with the withdrawal of U.S. and other foreign troops from the country.

Let's go Brandon

but how? I don't understand? Isn't that the Americans defeated the Taliban that's why they withdrew after 20 years of war, or was it not?

This shit isn't welcome in the western world, it can stay right the fuck where it is.

Looks like FIFA has another choice on where to host the next World Cup.

Is the prison industrial system less brutal?

maybe we should wage another war and occupation and hunker back down in Kabul so we can drone bomb families with children while claiming they're Taliban fighters.

In other news, FIFA announces Afghanistan as the next host of the world cup... 🤣😂

I hope effective underground organs of Afghanis, like the National Resistance Front become successful in turning the Afghani people against the Taliban. 🇦🇫
