Afghanistan: Woman Flogged For Going To Shop Without Male Guardian

[OutlookIndia] A woman in Afghanistan was seen being brutally flogged in public for allegedly flouting the Taliban

...Arabic for students...
's conservative rule that prohibits women from going to shops without a male guardian.

In an almost two-minute video clip, posted on Twitter by a user named Shabnam Nasimi, reportedly from the Takhar province, the woman can be seen being whipped.

"The women of Afghanistan are experiencing hell on earth under Taliban regime. We mustn't turn a blind eye," Shabnam Nasimi wrote along with the video.

Last week, three women and 11 men were flogged following the orders of an Afghan court after they were found guilty of theft and "moral crimes", it was reported.

Those being punished received between 21 and 39 lashes each, after being convicted in a local court of theft and adultery, reports said adding that hundreds of people attended the lashings and a ban was imposed on taking photos and video.

The resumption of the practice underscored the Taliban's intention of sticking to their strict interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia. Supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada also ordered judges last month to fully enforce aspects of Islamic law that include public executions and floggings.

The Taliban carried out punishments in public during their first rule that ended in late 2001.

#1 "rule that prohibits women from going to shops without a male guardian."

I know a few men here who think that's not such a bad idea at all ;-)

#2 There is at least one Energy Official who is evaluating the potential of witnessing a public flogging and considering be asked for a transfer to the State Department. He may be banned from airline travel, though so it may be impossible to work out the logistics.
