Judicial corporal punishment in Afghanistan

Judicial corporal punishment in Afghanistan is illegal but has been reported in the past. According to United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), it is still carried out in public. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), however, rejected UNAMA's claim as baseless.

Reports of flogging
Flogging has been reported in Afghanistan. It is claimed to be a lawful sentence for crimes such as adultery, which may be punished with 100 lashes of a whip.

Flogging may also be administered as a disciplinary measure in penal institutions. Some kangaroo courts in the past have also ordered flogging for alcohol use, although a BBC report has claimed that this is rare.
