#Taliban's Minister of Propagation of Virtue& Prevention of Vice, Minister of Justice, Minister of Foreign Affairs& Minister of Education, were also among those officials of the IEA who attended the Qisas event in Farah, where the family of a victim killed the murderer in public.
"The killer, Tajmir, son of Ghulam Sarwar, was a resident of Injil District of Herat, who on 12 Oct 2017, brutally stabbed& killed Mustafa son of Abdul Rahman, a resident of Farah's Pusht-e Koh District, and took away motorbike& a mobile phone of the victim with him," TB claimed.
Today's #Qisas in Farah City was the first "#Public_Execution" under the #Taliban 2.0 regime in #Afghanistan.
In recent few weeks, the Taliban started punishment of the convicts in public, including #floggings of women and men on charges of immorality in several provinces of AFG.

Mullah Mohammad Essa Akhund, was introduced as new #Kabul_Governor today.
A Pashton from Kandahar (?), he was a battle field expert of the #TB in the south, and recently was serving as security chief for the Ministry of Defense.
Pro-TB accounts defined him as an anti-ISKP figure.
Following the announcement of Mullah Mohammad Essa (Yasin) Akhund, as the new Kabul Governor, many sources in social media, accused him of having background of spoiling governmental assets in Paktika Province, when he was serving as governor there in late 2021.
Paktika people...
... reportedly complained and stood against him, which resulted in his shifting to Kabul as commander of security& support brigade of the Ministry of Defense.
#Taliban usually tolerate the wrongdoings of their powerful commanders and figures, mainly for keeping the group's unity.
