The Taliban hung a dead body on a crane in a square in Herat – SME.sk

CABLE. Members of the Afghan militant Taliban hung a dead body on a crane in a main square in the city of Herat in western Afghanistan. The AP agency informed about it on Saturday with reference to a witness.

Wazir Ahmad Seddiqi, who runs a pharmacy in the square, said four bodies had been brought in and three bodies had been moved to other squares in Herat.

According to Seddiqi, the Taliban reported that the four were caught in a kidnapping and killed by police. It was not immediately clear whether the four were killed in a shootout with the police or after being detained, writes AP.

The Taliban have not yet commented.

A Taliban official, Nurrruddin Turabi, told the AP this week that an Islamist group would impose harsh punishments in Afghanistan, including executions or hand-cutting for theft. According to him, such punishments are necessary for the fight against crime. According to him, the Taliban has not yet decided whether to execute in public.

Shortly after taking power in Afghanistan, the Taliban announced that it would reintroduce Islamic Sharia law in the country. It includes harsh punishments such as flogging, cutting off limbs and executions.

The Taliban ruled Afghanistan hard from 1996 to 2001.

“We have changed. We allow the use of televisions and mobile phones. “People can also take photos and shoot videos,” Turabi said, adding that they could allow citizens to film executions or cut off limbs and spread them on social networks.
