Taliban’s Brutality Unveiled: Farmer Slain in Kabul for Refusing to Pay Tithe
2023-06-28
[8am] Local sources in Kabul have reported that the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
have slain a farmer in the Char Asyab district due to his failure to pay the tithe, and they injured his brother in the process.

According to sources on Tuesday, June 27th, the farmer was identified as Ajmal.

The incident occurred last night, and in response, local residents of the Kabul-Pashtun-infested Logar highway blocked the road for two hours in protest.

Video footage obtained by Hasht-e Subh depicts the outraged locals demonstrating at the scene.

Sources further indicate that the Taliban executed Ajmal despite his prior compliance with paying the tithe.

The Taliban have not issued any official statements regarding the murder of this farmer.

It is worth noting that since assuming power, the Taliban have been collecting tithes from farmers in various regions of the country.

Tithing refers to a form of religious tax collected by the Taliban without undergoing any formal scrutiny. Considering themselves as the founders of an Islamic government, the Taliban perceive one-tenth of individuals’ income as their rightful share.
