Taliban Hang Bodies of Dead ‘Criminals’ in Gruesome Public Execution

The
Taliban hung
the dead bodies of three alleged criminals in public view in Afghanistan on
Tuesday, a shocking display reminiscent of the Islamic militant group’s brutal
regime of the late 1990s.
The alleged criminals were killed by a
man after they tried to break into his home, deputy governor Mawlawi Shir
Ahmad Muhajir told AFP.
Their corpses were hoisted from two cranes
in the Obe district in northeast Herat.
The gruesome scene was similar to another public hanging of a dead body
in the central square of Herat less than two weeks ago.
In the
earlier instance, the person was among four alleged criminals who were killed
by police when they tried to kidnap a father and son.
The other three bodies were displayed in other parts of the city.
“The aim of this action is to alert all criminals that they are not safe,” an
unidentified Taliban member had told the Associated Press about the September
hangings.
This is a normal practice in Kuwait, Oman, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, UAE, Iraq, Iran, and why is it regarded as such a heinous act by the Taliban if our so-called friendly countries partake in the same devilish act hmmm?
