From the Guardian article:

Most recently, in February, the Taliban executed people in public at stadiums in Jawzjan and Ghazni provinces. The militant group has urged people to attend executions and punishments as a “lesson” but banned filming or photography.

The Taliban want to intimidate people inside Afghanistan without fuelling outrage outside the country.

predictably:
assholes who do bad things to people in the recent past
say they will not do so when cementing power

The exceptions are few, far between and often a result of selective memory.

“They tested their draconian policies one by one and have reached this point because there is no one to hold them accountable for the abuses. …We should all be warned that if not stopped, more and more will come.”

Sound familiar – and very close to home.

This sounds absolutely horrible. 360 men and 57 women publicly flogged and/or executed in the last year alone.

This is exactly why religion and government should not be mixed. It doesn’t matter which religion; just keep religions and governments in separate spheres. Just to be safe.
