In Ghazni City, eastern Afghanistan, Taliban authorities executed two men for murder in a public event witnessed by thousands. The executions, carried out by multiple gunshots, followed the reading of a death warrant by Supreme Court official Atiqullah Darwish, signed by Taliban Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada. The condemned had undergone a two-year trial process. Despite the presence of the victims' families who were given the opportunity to grant reprieves, they declined. The event underscores the Taliban's strict justice system and the public nature of executions in areas under their control.
