#Taliban's supreme leader to Judges:
"Investigate the cases of robbers, kidnappers and seditionists thoroughly!
Those cases that have met all the Shariah conditions of #Had and #Qisas, you are obliged to implement the Had and Qisas punishments on the convicts, because this is ...

Note:
The Taliban are disappointed by the no recognition of their government by the international community. Meanwhile, internal pressure of hardliners, calling for implementation of Hudud, is increasing day to day.
