Since the beginning of February, at least 61 Afghans, including nine women, have been flogged in sports stadiums packed with ordinary citizens and Taliban officials from the judiciary and administration, according to data from the top court. The individuals were accused of adultery, eloping, sodomy and robbery, with many of them also receiving prison sentences ranging from several months to six years.

USA has the largest prison population on the planet with thousands of people being tortured for months/years in solitary confinement, etc. People locked up in concentration camps at gitmo. Journalists hounded around the planet by death threats. Full support of genocide. Etc.

Ofc this prison empire spreads like a disease through the lands that it invades.
