From Afghanistan to apply sharia law with discretion: minister (Sydney Morning Herald):

Judge Ahamat Ullha Zarif told AFP that public executions and amputations would continue in accordance with sharia law but justice would be applied fairly and with mercy. "There will be some changes from the time of the Taliban," he said. "For example, the Taliban used to hang the victim's body in public for four days. We will only hang the body for a short time, say 15 minutes." Kabul's sports stadium, where the Taliban used to carry out public executions and amputations every Friday, would no longer be used. "The stadium is for sports. We will find a new place for public executions," he said. Adulterers, both male and female, would still be stoned to death, Zarif said, "but we will use only small stones."
