A crowd of about 5000 people watched the lashings, a punishment for 'moral crimes'.
BBC News
The group were guilty of "moral crimes" including adultery, robbery and gay sex, a Taliban official told the BBC.The move could signal a return to the hard-line practices seen in the previous Taliban rule in the 1990s. The men and women received between 21 and 39 lashes each. The maximum number a person can receive is 39, another Taliban official said.
The flogging in Logar province comes a week after the Taliban's supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, ordered judges to enforce punishments for certain crimes in line with the group's strict reading of Islamic Sharia law.
