The Taliban's Supreme Court announced that the group publicly flogged two people, including a woman, in the Baraki Barak district of Logar province on charges of "moral corruption and running away from home”.

The Taliban has stated that the accused were sentenced to five years of imprisonment and 39 lashes each.

The Taliban's Supreme Court confirmed the sentencing of the accused in a statement issued on Monday.

The Taliban frequently report the implementation of flogging sentences against accused individuals in various provinces of Afghanistan several times a week.

Human rights organisations have repeatedly called on the Taliban to stop the corporal punishment of accused individuals, but the group has ignored these requests.

These organisations argue that the Taliban's judicial system lacks proper standards, and the accused are often denied access to legal representation and other avenues for justice.
