AFGHANISTAN: MOTHER, DAUGHTER STONED TO DEATH

An Afghani mother and her young daughter were stoned and shot to death for “adultery and moral deviation” in the town of Ghazni, in the eastern part of the country.
Security officials told the BBC that the armed men carried out the execution while the residents of the town abstained from intervening or calling for help.
The armed men reportedly dragged the woman, a widow who lives with her daughter, out of their home and started stoning them; then the two were later shot. Police forces arrested two men over their involvement in the crime and they are believed to be affiliated with the Taliban.
The town of Ghazni is supposedly under the control of the Afghani security forces, yet in reality much of the area is believed to be ruled by the Taliban.
