On April 10, 2015, Taliban forces carried out summary executions of three men accused of murder in the Juma Bazaar area of Bakwa District, Farah Province. The Taliban gathered a crowd at the execution site and instructed them to shout "Allah Akbar." While the crowd complied with this instruction, the three men were shot.

The Taliban rejected this proposal.
