“This video was filmed in 2017 on the highway in Jawzjan Province, where ISIS leader (Qari Hikmat) beat some women,” Zabiullah Mujahid wrote on Twitter.

“The ISIS group was eliminated by the Islamic Emirate. Unfortunately, the Al-Arabiya channel attributed this to the Islamic Emirate without any investigation, and this is not true,” Mujahid added.

A video circulating on social media platforms showed a woman in Afghanistan being brutally flogged in public for allegedly “flouting the Islamic Emirate's rule that prohibits women from going to shops without a male guardian.” (ILKHA)
