The Taliban's supreme leader in Afghanistan has mandated the full implementation of Islamic law, including severe punishments such as public executions, stoning, flogging, and amputations for crimes like adultery, theft, and apostasy. Despite initial promises of a more lenient approach, the Taliban have reverted to a strict interpretation of Sharia, reminiscent of their rule from 1996 to 2001. Women face significant restrictions, being barred from public spaces, losing jobs, and needing male accompaniment for travel. Recent bans also prevent women from accessing parks, gyms, and public baths.
