Taliban Supreme Leader Says Women Will Be Stoned to Death for Adultery | Firstpost America

Almost three years after regaining power in the Southeast Asian nation, the Taliban have created the world's most serious women's rights crisis. They have brought back one draconian measure after another. In the latest, the Taliban are resuming publicly stoning women to death. In an audio broadcast, the Taliban supreme leader announced the group would begin enforcing its interpretation of the Sharia law, which includes women being publicly flogged and stoned for adultery. The Taliban leader called it a fight against Western influences. Human rights groups say the Taliban have been enabled by the international community's silence, which has put the future of women in the country at stake.
