Taliban to resume stoning women for adultery

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has announced that the women will be stoned to death for adultery.

“You say it's a violation of women's rights when we stone them to death. But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery. We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public,” he said.

Supreme Leader Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada made the announcement in a voice message broadcast on state TV last Saturday.

In the video, Akhundzada said that the women's rights that the international community had been advocating for were against the Taliban's interpretation of Islamic Sharia.
