KABUL, 25 September 2021, (TON): It’s new head of prisons and one of the group’s founders Nooruddin Turabi says in an interview that the Taliban are likely to resume executions and amputations of hands as punishment in Afghanistan once again though not in public.

He said in an interview “we will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Qur’an.”

Turabi, the chief enforcer of Taliban’s harsh interpretation of Islamic law, dismissed the outrage over the public executions when the militant forces last ruled the country.

Strictly warning anyone to refrain from interfering with the new regime, he said “everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments.”

According to Turabi, the now prisons minister in Afghanistan, the cutting off of hands “is very necessary for security.”

He added that the existing cabinet was trying to develop a policy on whether the punishments would be publicly executed like before.

Turabi said that while the Qur'an will remain the foundation for Afghanistan’s laws, judges including women, would adjudicate cases but the same punishments would be revived.
