My Way News - Taliban stone couple for adultery in Afghanistan
My Way News reports: "Taliban militants in northern Afghanistan stoned a young couple to death for adultery [...] When the Islamist extremists ruled Afghanistan, women were not allowed to leave their houses without a male guardian, and public killings for violations of their harsh interpretation of the Quran were common [...] Amnesty International said it was the first confirmed stoning in Afghanistan since the fall of Taliban rule in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion."
