Beating of a woman in public by a mob in Takhar sparks furor
The public trial and beating of a woman in Northeastern Takhar province has sparked furor among the people amid growing violence against the women in the country.

AVA- A video has been published online recently and is being circulated by the social media users who have been infuriated with the brutal beating of the woman by a mob in Takhar province.

According to the local officials, the woman was accused of illicit sexual relations by a tribal court in Chah Aab district.

The video purportedly shows the women being beaten by a mob of angry men who are also chanting Allah Akbar besides insulting the woman.

Provincial governor’s spokesman Sanatullah Temori confirmed the incident and said the local government will take immediate and strict actions regarding the brutal beating of the woman.

He said the arrest warrants of those involved in the trial of the woman have been issued insisting that the government will deal with the case seriously.

Temori further added that preliminary reports indicate the woman was accused of having illicit relations with a young man.

He said the husband of the woman is apparently residing in Iran and the woman was tried for the alleged criminal act by the relatives of the man.

This comes as there has been a sharp rise against the women across the country despite ongoing efforts by the government and the international community to end the violence.
