Afghanistan: Executions will return, says senior Taliban official
The Taliban’s notorious former head of religious police has said extreme punishments such as executions and amputations will resume in Afghanistan.
Mullah Nooruddin Turabi, now in charge of prisons, told AP News amputations were “necessary for security”.
He said these punishments may not be meted out in public, as they were under previous Taliban rule in the 1990s.
But he dismissed outrage over their past public executions: “No-one will tell us what our laws should be.”
