The alleged incident is considered to be the first official confirmation of brutal public lashings and floggings of the Afghan public for violation of laws in Afghanistan since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in August 2021 post the United States troop withdrawal.
While sharing the viral video, number of people across the world reminded of the 1990s era when similar scenes were prevalent on the streets of Afghanistan.
After the Taligan regime took over control of the country, its fighters and officials had initially promised to respect human rights and implement moderate punishments, as well as reinstate women’s and minority rights.
But in recent months, the Taliban has flouted its initial commitment to upholding the Afghan constitution and protecting women’s rights.
