Chulam Mustafa Mohseni, police chief of Ghor province confirms the arrest. He said that the Primary Court judge is now behind the bars. Farouqi is the person who had ordered public punishment to a couple for allegedly committing crime. Ahmad, 21, and Zarmina, 22, received 100 lashes each in front of several community elders and local residents for having illegal contacts about three weeks before. After the punishment, Mohseni told news hounds that public punishment is allowed in the constitution. |
