November 6, 2024:

The Taliban publicly flogged a man and a woman for “adultery” in Parwan province, eastern Afghanistan, the Taliban Supreme Court announced on November 5, 2024, amid a rise in corporal punishment across the country.
These individuals were flogged in Bagram district on November 5, each receiving 39 lashes in the presence of local residents and authorities, the Supreme Court said.
Additionally, the Taliban primary court sentenced them to three years in prison.
This incident is part of a recent surge in public corporal punishment across Afghanistan.
In recent weeks, the Taliban have flogged hundreds, including women and LGBTQ+ individuals, on charges the regime labels as “moral corruption.”
Over the past two days, Taliban authorities have flogged at least 29 people, including 6 women, across several provinces of Afghanistan.
