On Wednesday, an Afghan man convicted of murder was publicly executed in Farah, the Taliban said. This is the first confirmation of such a sentence since the group returned to power. “The supreme court was instructed to implement this order of qisas in a public gathering of compatriots,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement, referring to the “eye for an eye” justice in Sharia. The statement named the executed man Tajmir. It said that he had murdered a man and stolen his motorcycle and cell phone.
