An official of the Supreme Court said that the implementation of Sharia Hudod (rules of punishment) are not against human rights or violate freedom.
Speaking at a gathering held in the Academy of Science of Afghanistan, head of the Darul Iftah (a decision-making entity within the Supreme Court), Azizullah Mutaheri, said that the implementation of Sharia Hudod has its certain conditions.
“What is the biggest wisdom of Qisas (retribution)? When someone kills someone, if the Qisas is implemented, it becomes a message to others,” he said.
“The fundamental issue is justice… The Sharia Hudod should be implemented. Conditions are important to be paved for Sharia Hudod,” said Mohammad Sharif Rahmani, head of the appeals court.
The gathering was held under the title of “implementation of Sharia Hudod and its role in society."
The deputy head of the Academy of Science, Amir Jan Saqib, said that with implementation of the Sharia law in the country, justice will be paved.
“The developed countries around the world don’t have good security because of the lack of Sharia Hudod, but in the countries where there is an Islamic government, there is security,” he said.
An official of the Ministry of Vice and Virtue, Mohammad Yahya, said that the implementation of Sharia Hudod will improve the security of the country as well.
“The Sharia Hudod is being implemented on the people who are threatening the security of the society,” he said.
This comes as many international human rights groups have repeatedly voiced concerns over the violation of human rights in Afghanistan.
