News India Live, Digital Desk: A heartbreaking news has come from Afghanistan for the world that cries out for human rights. The Taliban administration is preparing a new ‘penal code’, which will ‘legalize’ the barbaric medieval punishments against women. Under this new law, it will now become legal to publicly flog and stoning women for adultery and other ‘moral crimes’.
Creepy details of the new law
According to reports from the United Nations and international human rights organizations, this new penal code of the Taliban is specifically designed to crush the freedom of women. Some of the major provisions included in it are as follows:
Public punishment: Women will be punished in public places for any ‘immoral’ act so as to create fear in the society.
Stoning: On serious charges, there is a provision for burying women in the ground and stoning them until they die.
Termination of rights: After the right to education and work, now women’s ‘right to life’ is also being legally guarded.
Worldwide outrage and concern
This step of Taliban has created a stir in the international community. Human rights activists say this is a return to the Taliban rule of the 1990s.
UN warning: The United Nations has said that this is a flagrant violation of international human rights treaties.
Appeal of women workers: Afghan women activists have called for intervention from global powers, saying “we have become prisoners in our own country.”
Will Taliban be controlled?
Although many countries of the world have not recognized the Taliban government, but due to the implementation of such laws, the situation for the women there is becoming like ‘hell’. Experts believe that if strong economic and political pressure is not exerted on global forums, the women of Afghanistan will be pushed into the darkest period in history.
