A crowd listens as the verdict is given before the woman, sitting on the ground in a burqa, is shot in the back of the head with a AK-47 in Jowzjan, Afghanistan.

The execution is believed to have taken place 2 - 4 months ago. A Taliban court convicted her of killing her husband, whose family crowded around the execution site and voted to execute her.

The victim’s identity was not known, but Colonel Hafeez said that the authorities believed that the video was genuine and that the execution had taken place in the Khanaqa district.

The executioner’s face is covered, but he was believed to be the district’s Taliban commander.

The countries of the world should stop buying their opium and heroin and these shit eating monkeys would run out of ammo and fight with sticks and rocks just like the cavemen. There is a solution!

I think it was a fair trial and punishment for the crime she committed. It's not like they set her on fire or kicked and Stoned her to death. Keep in mind That Country is still Stone Age comparing to other countries. One quick shot with a AK-47 to the back of the head is quite humane by anyone's standards for death penalty. I've heard of some horribly botched execution in my Country that was supposed to be humane that didn't go this good. Just saying if I had to go a way other than natural causes this would be the best way out for me

except..."fair trial" is rarely defined as "a bunch of people in a circle making a verdict most likely based on emotional decision making followed by an immediate execution"

[raggity ham]

Im sure they gave her a fair trial and took her opinion into consideration

The ones that killed her are probably the ones who killed her husband.

How do we even know what she is charged with is real? The husband could have ran away or something, comes back a year later. He could have been killed by some men that hated him for whatever reasons. So this farce of a trial is hardly fair. I don't care city, backwoods or desert...it's not fair. Where's the evidence? Did they even take her covering off to make sure it's the "wife"/"the killer"?

UGH.

What a horrible...society to be born into....Damn.
