Afghan Women Will be Stoned to Death for Adultery, Declares Taliban Leader Akhundzada in New Audio

Afghan women will be publicly flogged and stoned to death for “crimes like adultery”, Taliban’s supreme leader Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada has purportedly declared in a new audio message in which he also challenges Western democracies. The audio, released online by the national broadcaster, also announces the strict implementation of the Islamic code of Shariah.

“You say it’s a violation of women’s rights when we stone them (women) 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,” Akhundzada declared.

“These are all against your democracy but we will continue doing it. We both say we defend human rights – we do it as God’s representative and you as the devil’s.”

According to Akhundzada, women’s rights as advocated by the international community are against the Taliban’s rigid interpretation of Islamic Sharia.

The Taliban used to execute both persons together before 2001.
Step by step, they are gradually reverting to that old form.
