SHIBERGHAN (Pajhwok): Local officials on Thursday said Taliban militants wanted to stone an innocent woman to death on adultery charge in northwestern Jawzjan province, but elders prevented their move.
Governor Maulvi Lotfullah Azizi told Pajhwok Afghan News Taliban commander Qari Hekmat had accused the woman of adultery and wanted to stone her in public in Darzab district.
But local religious scholars and elders opposed his decision because there was no evidence to prove guilty the 22-year-old woman . . .
