Taliban Executes Young Couple for Trying to Elope

Taliban forces in Afghanistan meted out their brand of Sharia justice this week by executing a 19-year-old woman and 21-year-old-man for the crime of wanting to elope. The couple were shot by a firing squad before witnesses.

The couple was going to try to get to Iran but may have been turned over by their parents or neighbors.

Last year, militants across the border in Pakistan killed five women for wanting to marry men for love.
