According to a statement released by the Taliban’s Supreme Court today, Monday (December 23), the woman was flogged yesterday following a decision by the Taliban's primary court in Pashtun Kot district and the approval of the group's Supreme Court.

The statement specifies that the woman received "39 lashes" and was also sentenced to one year in prison.

Local Taliban judicial officials, authorities from various civil and military departments, and a number of ordinary people were present during the execution of this punishment.
