AFGHANISTAN: TALIBAN OFFICIAL PARDONS HIS FATHER'S MURDERER

December 19, 2022:

A senior Afghan official has pardoned a man sentenced to death for murdering the politician's father, a court said on 18 December 2022, days after Taliban authorities carried out the first public execution since the Islamists seized power.
Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada last month ordered judges to fully enforce aspects of Islamic law including public executions, stonings and floggings, and the amputation of limbs from thieves.
However, Gul Mohammad, deputy governor of the northern province of Jawzjan, forgave the man convicted of killing his father in 1992, Afghanistan's Supreme Court said in a statement.
The country's sharia courts had found Abdul Qayyum guilty of murder and ordered his execution as an "eye for an eye" punishment under the hardline justice system.
But the deputy governor ended the case by forgiving the man.
"The family of the murderer requested me to pardon him. Today, I'm letting go of the qisas (punishment) and I forgive him," the court statement quoted the official as saying.
Supreme leader Akhundzada, who has not been filmed or photographed in public since the Taliban returned to power, rules by decree from Kandahar, the movement's birthplace and spiritual heartland.
The Taliban regularly carried out punishments in public during their first period of rule that ended in late 2001, including floggings and executions at the national stadium in the capital, and Afghans were encouraged to attend.
They promised a softer regime when they seized power again last year but have since introduced increasingly severe restrictions on the lives of Afghans.
Women in particular have been incrementally squeezed out of public life.
