Taliban Publicly Execute Two Afghan Men Convicted of Murder

Two men, Syed Jamal and Gul Khan, were publicly executed by the Taliban in an Afghan stadium for their alleged involvement in stabbing attacks.
The executions were authorized by the Taliban's Supreme Court, with at least 237 extrajudicial executions recorded by the UN since the Taliban took power in 2021.
International criticism has arisen over human rights violations, gender restrictions, and the treatment of women under the Taliban regime, with calls for the recognition of "gender apartheid" as a crime against humanity.
