Afghanistan leader imposes sharia across the country

Haibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader in Afghanistan ordered judges to fully enforce sharia law, which includes public executions, floggings, and stonings.

Since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan in August 2021, Akhundzada has continued to rule from Kandahar, where the group emerged during the Afghan Civil War in 1994. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.

"Carefully examine the files of thieves, kidnappers and seditionists," Mujahid quoted Akhundzada as saying. Those files in which all the sharia [Islamic law] conditions of hudud and qisas have been fulfilled, you are obliged to implement. This is the ruling of sharia, and my command, which is obligatory."
