Continuing with Shariah punishments Taliban hung the dead bodies of 3 criminals in public view in Afghanistan. The criminals were killed by a man after they tried to break into his home, deputy governor Mawlawi Shir Ahmad Muhajir told AFP.
Their corpses were hoisted from two cranes in the Obe district in northeast Herat.
Less than two weeks ago another another public hanging of a dead body took place in the central square of Herat.
n the earlier instance, the person was among four alleged criminals who were killed by police when they tried to kidnap a father and son.
The other three bodies were displayed in other parts of the city.
“The aim of this action is to alert all criminals that they are not safe,” an unidentified Taliban member had told the Associated Press about the September hangings.
The Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August two weeks before the US was set to withdraw its troops from the war-torn country.
This follows after Taliban had warned that stricter punishments for criminals will return.
