How did the Taliban punish people for disobedience?
Many Afghans were appalled by the news that their country was now occupied by the Taliban. After all, they remember the period when they ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. And they remember how at that time the militants regularly staged demonstrative executions for the slightest offense.
The story of the Afghan girl Aisha Mohammadzai is well known. At the age of 12, she was married to a Taliban commander. She was regularly beaten by her new husband, and at the age of 18 she fled back to her family. The father returned her to the husband, who promised to take good care of her. But in fact, he cut off her ears and nose and left her to die in the mountains. Later, Aisha was found by humanitarian workers who provided her with medical assistance. She was able to travel to the US and hit the cover of TIME as a symbol of the oppression of women in Afghanistan.
