A young Afghan woman has been stoned to death after being accused of adultery.

A 30-second video clip run in Afghan media shows a woman in a hole in the ground as turbaned men gather around and hurl stones at her. 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.

The killing took place about a week ago in a Taliban-controlled area just outside Firozkoh, the capital of central Ghor province, officials said. The video was sourced and released by the international broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

A spokesman for Ghor’s governor, Seema Joyenda said: “Yes, the footage shown in the media is related to Rokhsahana, who was stoned to death.”

Joyenda said Rokhsahana had been stoned by a gathering of “Taliban, local religious leaders and armed warlords”. She said Rokhsahana’s family had married her off against her will, and she had been caught while eloping with another man her age, seen as tantamount to adultery. The man was let off with a lashing, Joyenda’s spokesman said.
