The Kabul Tribune (KT) — The Taliban Supreme Court said two people, including a woman, were flogged in Ghor province after being convicted of “adultery.”
In a statement issued Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, the court said a Taliban primary court in Ghor sentenced each defendant to 39 lashes.
According to the statement, the punishment was carried out after being upheld by the Taliban Supreme Court.
Over the past four years, the Taliban have repeatedly enforced corporal punishments, including public floggings and executions, in several provinces — actions that have drawn widespread condemnation from human rights groups and the international community.
