Statistics from the Taliban's Supreme Court and statements from officials across Afghanistan indicate that the group publicly flogged 583 people and executed six individuals during 2024.
UN experts, including Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett, called on the Taliban to immediately halt all "inhumane punishments" in Afghanistan, including public executions and corporal punishment, after four executions were carried out in a single day last week.
