UN Condemns Taliban's Public Flogging of 63 Afghans

The United Nations has condemned the Taliban for publicly flogging 63 people, including 14 women, in northern Afghanistan's Sari Pul province. The Taliban's supreme court confirmed the punishments for crimes such as sodomy, theft, and immoral relations. This act is part of a series of severe public punishments that the Taliban has carried out since regaining power in 2021, reminiscent of their previous rule in the late 1990s.
