Four people, including a woman, were publicly flogged in eastern Afghanistan , Taliban officials say.

The United Nations has condemned such punishment being increasingly inflicted on Afghans under Taliban rule.

The U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan says the use of corporal punishment amounts to “torture and other ill-treatment”.
