Taliban militants have executed a woman on charge of adultery in Yamgan district of Badakhshan province with Faizabad as its capita, head of Women Affairs department in the province Zofenon Nateq said.

"The ill-fated lady Amir Begum went to the house of her relative in Yamgan district but the Taliban rebels on Monday night stormed the house and brutally murdered Begum in front of her relatives on baseless charge of adultery," Nateq told Xinhua.

Meantime, Hayatullah Amiri the head of Human Rights Commission in the northeastern region, has condemned the extra-judicial killing of the lady committed by Taliban and called upon the government to bring to justice all those involved in the heinous crime.

Taliban militants who are infamous for conducting extra-judicial killing and field trial of their oppositions, are yet to make comment on the subject.
