Judicial corporal punishment in Afghanistan is illegal but has been reported in the past. According to United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), it is still carried out in public.[1] The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), however, rejected UNAMA's claim as baseless.[2][3]
Reports of flogging edit
Flogging has been reported in Afghanistan.[4][5] It is claimed to be a lawful sentence for crimes such as adultery,[6][7] which may be punished with 100 lashes of a whip.[8]
Flogging may also be administered as a disciplinary measure in penal institutions.[6] Some kangaroo courts in the past have also ordered flogging for alcohol use, although a BBC report has claimed that this is rare.[9]
