Taliban execute Afghan man over kidnapping charges

According to local authorities in eastern Ghazni province of Afghanistan, Taliban militants hanged an Afghan man to death at Qarabagh district over kidnapping charges.

Provincial governor spokesman Fazal Sabawoon confirming the report said the accused Afghan man who was hanged to death had recently abducted an Afghan child and urged his family to pay for his freedom.

Mr. Sabawoon further added Taliban militants arrested the kidnapper five days back and asked the tribal elders to sentence the accused man for his crime.

He also said the accused man was hanged to death after the tribal elders agreed for his death penalty during a tribal session on Sunday.

This comes as Taliban group shot dead an Afghan woman around a month ago in Parwan province of Afghanistan over adultery charges.
