The Supreme Court stated that in the past two weeks, punishments have been carried out on 25 individuals across seven provinces of the country. 

According to Abdul Rahim Rashid, the spokesperson for the Supreme Court, these sentences were carried out on convicted individuals in the provinces of Zabul, Balkh, Faryab, Sar-e-Pul, Bamyan, Maidan Wardak, and Ghor.

Rashid stated: "Disciplinary punishments have been applied by the Islamic Emirate's courts on 25 convicts and accused individuals in seven provinces of the country, including Zabul, Balkh, Faryab, Sar-e-Pul, Bamyan, Maidan Wardak, and Ghor."

Recently, the Supreme Court also announced in a statement that three individuals in Herat were sentenced to 39 lashes and two years in prison for the crime of selling and transporting drugs.

Haseebullah Hanifi, a religious scholar, said: "The disciplinary measures imposed by the Islamic Emirate yield very positive results. Through these, our society is safeguarded from kidnappings, corruption, murder, and violence."

Sayed Moqadam Amin, a legal expert, said: "The Hudood (Islamic punishments) are one of the legal matters and a Sharia-based limit, and disciplinary measures are also among the punishments that have been thoroughly discussed in Islamic jurisprudence. Their enforcement can have both a Sharia-based and legal foundation. However, if the enforcement of Hudood is done arbitrarily and outside the bounds of law, it can harm public opinion."

Previously, the Supreme Court announced that it would not succumb to any pressure from the international community regarding the enforcement of Sharia law and that the world should refrain from negative propaganda about the implementation of Sharia punishments in Afghanistan.
