The Taliban are searching pornographic sites to make a kill list of Afghan sex workers and are hell-bent on hunting them down to publicly execute or “humiliate for their own pleasure”.
According to the reports, people familiar with the matter that videos featuring Afghan prostitutes have been discovered by the Taliban death squads on niche porn sites. The people cited above stated to the British tabloid that “the women face being gang-raped by the terror nuts before being beheaded, stoned or hung” by the Taliban.
The report further added the statements of some people where it stated that -“They pretend to condemn pornography but are digging deep into the most obscure and deeply-hidden adult sites to find videos that show Afghan brothels so they can identity and slaughter or enslave the women who worked in them. Because the videos show obvious location markers of the brothels, these women are now in serious danger of being kidnapped or murdered in the most horrific ways imaginable.”
Further, it is reported that some of the videos allegedly feature the women having sex with Westerners, “further raising the fury of the Taliban.” Under the new regime, women have already been discouraged from going to work and even been turned away from their offices and have been asked not to step outside their home with a male relative.
Sex work in Afghanistan is illegal and even though the penal code does not specify the punishment, they risk jail if they are caught. Human rights organisations in Afghanistan said in June there were “hundreds” of sex workers based in the country’s capital of Kabul.
