Taliban Revives Public Executions as Afghanistan Faces Human Rights Crisis
# Afghanistan Back in Dark Ages as Taliban Orders Executions Under Collapsing Walls
Afghanistan has descended into a grim reality, as public executions are once again occurring under the Taliban regime. In 2025, twelve individuals were executed, highlighting a troubling revival of barbaric practices reminiscent of a bygone era. The executions were carried out visibly, reinforcing the regime's oppressive rule and its disregard for basic human rights.
Earlier this year, the Taliban confirmed that a murderer faced "retaliation punishment (Qisas)" in a sports stadium located in Khost province. This event signifies the regime's troubling norm of public executions, which serve as both punishment and a show of power. The brutal methods employed, coupled with the public nature of these events, illustrate the dire status of justice and human rights in the country.
As global criticism mounts, the Taliban remains steadfast in its oppressive policies, with public safety and international norms taking a backseat to their autocratic governance. The stark reality for many citizens is one of fear and uncertainty, as the country's leadership continues to revert to inhumane practices.
