In a statement posted on Twitter, the group's "Supreme Court" upheld the conviction of 14 people, including three women, who were thrashed, and was attended by scholars, officials and the public.

However, none of the countries that supported the previous administration agreed to the empty pledges, and Afghanistan has received harsher sanctions as a result.

Living conditions in the nation, which relied heavily on foreign aid, have deteriorated rapidly, with many people no longer having access to food and basic medical care.

The justice system used by the Islamist group is a mixture of centuries-old Afghan arbitration traditions and Islamic law. Islamists use "cultural" values ​​as justification for preventing girls from attending high school, contrary to the opinion of many Islamic scholars.

To prevent further economic decline in the nation, the Taliban leadership is divided into two ideological camps: one favors resuming all the harsh measures used in the past, and the other wants to avoid being overly radical.

The Taliban's foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaki, predicted at a police academy graduation in Herat on Wednesday that "the world will eventually come to a point to recognize the Taliban's government in Afghanistan". No country has recognized the Taliban as a legitimate government since they took power in August 2021.

Local authorities in some areas of Afghanistan have implemented their own versions of the laws away from the Taliban government's headquarters in Kabul.
