Public executions are part of Islam, a leader of the Afghanistan terrorist organization, promised on Saturday, days after four men were shot by shooting when the multitude cheers observed.
The executions took place in full sports stadiums and represent the highest number that it is known that it was carried out in a day since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
The Rights and UN groups condemned the murders, while the Taliban leader Hibhundada has previously rejected the need for Western laws in Afghanistan, AP reports.
“We will not abandon the application of these decisions, even if our lives cost us,” Akhundada said a religious seminar in Kandahar, specifically referring to the punishment of Qisa, or remuneration justice. “We will not give in western pressure.”
In an audio clip published Sunday by the main spokesman of the Taliban Zabihullah Mjahid in X, the outlet reports that Akhundada also said:
We must carry out disciplinary measures, perform prayers and acts of worship. We must enter Islam completely.
Islam is not only limited to some rituals; It is a comprehensive system of all divine commands.
It should not be allowed that a single command of Islam are not fulfilled, according to reports, the seminar or Hajj instructors last a 45 -minute speech in the province of southern Kandahar.
God had ordered the people to pray and enforce their punishment, said Akhundada, and added that the Taliban did not free the war for power or wealth, but “implement Islamic law.”
He rejected criticism of public executions that threw crowds in their thousands.

Akhundada’s comments occur when the Taliban seek a greater commitment to the international community, more recently the West, and after the moral of the Taliban, the police arrested men and their barbers on the hairstyles.
The prohibition of the voices of women who are heard in public are also in Afghanistan.
