A criminal was shot dead in front of 80 thousand people in a stadium in Afghanistan’s Khost province on Tuesday. According to Amu News, the firing was done by a 13 year old boy.
The man who was killed in a 13-year-old fight was accused of killing 13 members of the boy’s family. Many children and women were also included in this.
Before the execution, Taliban officials asked the 13-year-old boy if he wanted to forgive the accused. The child refused. After this the officer gave the gun to the child and asked him to shoot at the person standing in front.

Both the deceased and the killer were relatives
According to the Taliban’s Supreme Court, the killed man was Mangal Khan. He had murdered a person named Abdul Rehman.
According to Khost police spokesman Mustaghfir Gorbaz, both the dead and the killer were relatives. Two more convicts have also been sentenced to death in this case, but they could not be hanged because some of the heirs of the victims were not present at that time.
A day before this, the Taliban had issued a notice to the common people and invited them to publicly witness this incident. In this, people were asked to gather at the Central Stadium of Khost.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court also arrived to see the punishment.
After Mangala Khan was given death sentence, the Supreme Court of Taliban has given information about the incident in a press release. It states that a murderer has been publicly executed as punishment for Qisas (life in exchange for life).
The criminal Mangal Khan was originally from Paktia province and was living in Khost. He had killed Abdul Rahman, Sabit, and Ali Khan of Khost.
The case was examined very closely by the Taliban’s three courts (primary, appellate and civil). All three courts unanimously approved the ‘KISAS’ order.
This order was also sent in its final form to Maulvi Hibatullah Akhundzada (supreme leader of the Taliban), who gave his approval.
The stadium was attended by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Governor of Khost, the head of the Khost Appellate Court, and other government officials and a large number of people at the time of the assassination.
11 people got death sentence
On August 15, 2021, the Taliban again captured power in Afghanistan. Since then, this is the 11th time that a person has been given death sentence. According to the report of Amu TV, in the last 4 years, the Taliban Supreme Court has sentenced 176 people to death.
Under Taliban law, crimes such as murder, adultery and theft can be punished by death, amputation or flogging.
