Officials in Afghanistan said today (November 3, 2015) that a young women was stoned to death after being accused of adultery, and her killing was recorded in a video, according to the Yahoo News website.
The 30-second clip run in Afghan media shows a woman in a hole in the ground as turbaned men gather around and hurl stones at her with chilling nonchalance.
The woman -- named by officials as Rokhsahana and aged between 19 and 21 -- is heard repeating the shahada, or Muslim profession of faith, her voice growing increasingly high-pitched as stones strike her with sickening thuds.
The killing took place about a week ago in a Taliban-controlled area just outside Firozkoh, the capital of central Ghor province, officials said, confirming the video which was sourced and released by international broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
