Hello everyone, this is Ross McDonnell, director of Swift Justice, a film about Sharia Law under the Taliban. Thank you for watching.
We visited Helmand province in the aftermath of the Taliban takeover to see how the Islamic Sharia Court system was functioning at the village level for Afghans, what their issues were and crucially what role women had in the courts when they came to look for justice. We're here to feedback and answer your questions over the next couple of days. Enjoy the film.
It’s quite bizarre the fact that you showed how the court fairly decide she has her own freedom of choice to marry or not but at the end there’s a summary of women not having basic “human rights”
@@gyrombthey have to show they are still sellouts to the satanic agenda of the west. Otherwise there video would be condemned
@@gyrombfacts 🤣 weird ending message
Did you just assume that the person under the burka is a woman? How dare you!
Hollywood?
The father who stood up for his daughter 🤌🏻❤️
Bibi has a great father. You can tell he raised her as an equal; she’s very outspoken given the circumstances and I’m assuming she’s still a young girl.
Amen!
I was on the edge of my seat watching this and I was praying that she was not going to be forced to live with that despot, I cheered loudly when they told her she was allowed to live with her father a massive relief
Me too. Afghanistan is a messed up place because of their culture, but there is glimmer of hope in that ruling.

"The court orders you not to bother this women at all and that you should avoid the pre-Islamic dark ages practice of treating a window as part of the inheritance" that won my heart!
Hard for people to digest but majority of the people used these Tal’iban courts even when they were not in power yet
In the remote villages only though
@omalbakhtiari2269 no, the majority of us Afghans support Taliban and our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government and security forces now, and even city people prefer these Taliban courts.

"these men are vultures" i'm surprised she spoke so powerfully, and glad about it!
@princeafghan7346 Brother she only said that about her brother in laws who were forcing her into marriage against her will. Not about all men there. You misunderstood.
That's a proof that the Taliban actually don't oppress women if she talks boldly like that.
@princeafghan7346😂😂😂
So am I, it really took nerves of steel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's normal, racist stereotypes by western media have brainwashed you, it's ok i can understand
They sided with the poor woman and told the evil oppressive brother in law to F off which gives me hope for this world.
Praying for peace and prosperity to finally arrive in Afghanistan.
@@ricksmith1673 You can clearly see the brother in law was evil and a heroin addict.
The judge saw through this evil.
Before the Taliban. People like him would just bribe the judge.
Then people wonder why the Taliban defeated the Americans and they ran away.
@SK-xp9xijudging by his look I'd say he smokes opium and not weed
They knew they were being filmed that's why. Taliban number one enemy has always been women
@@ricksmith1673No, it's not only about that. Firstly, these courts are thorough and follow strict Shariah Law. At the strat pf this Islamic Emirate government, after the foreign invader terrorists and their Afghan puppets were sent running, our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government put in place a law forbidding forced marriages and another to ensure that women get their rightful inheritance, and this is strictly followed. This drug addict was also probably taken to drug rehab as our Islamic Emirate government is working hard to help our drug addicts.
@@phoenixrising8640 Lol the way they violently round up addicts and force them to detox in a prison isn't very effective.

Sharia clearly says that a woman can refuse marriage and she should be marry according to her desire or choice. She has inheritance rights which shows Sharia wants her to be able to have money and live freely. Of course while dressing modestly and not engaging in illicit relationships

Just be glad you live where lawyers, can represent you, mate.
Lawyers can save you years or even a lifetime of freedom. To me that is priceless.
As a hindu whose grandfather and father have given tons of money to lawyers will only say respect for this court
Assalam brother. Can you share your story? But why did you pay lawyers?
In “civilised” nations, the process of obtaining justice is itself a punishment. It can take years of gruelling court proceedings and a fortune in money to resolve disputes, wading through Kafkaesque bureaucracies and incomprehensible legal jargon.
This means that the mechanisms of justice are not available to the underprivileged people who can’t afford lawyers who can navigate the system on their behalf.
Thus, law becomes another tool for the powerful to keep their inferiors down.
Whether or not you agree with the actual values, principles and laws of the Taliban, it’s nice to see an accessible way of doing justice.
Lol, are you insane? These people are monsters.
Was there really any real justice happening there? it seemed very basic.
Based on a nonsense book.
@@russkiypirat nonse or not nonsens, the justice is served under that book. Not happy? don't watch

Real justice done for the harassed women to live freely with her children and father.
My salutes to Sharia law. The Sharia court well said that : "Women ( widow ) is NOT the commodity of inheritance"
The start of the video shows the bad part of sharia law tho
Such a beautiful culture the way they all love and want to take care of the woman.
The only ones who wanted to take care of the woman is that Taliban judge and the father the rest are Vultures like she said

believe me if those cases were in modern western based courts,it would take soo long to solve.
Did they solve them though? I didn’t hear any evidence just very unveiled threats of beating and one guy physically getting whipped until they presumably confess. And in the woman’s case her autonomy wouldn’t even be brought into question in the west lol
Not only the time, the cost as well.
They need more money to roll the cases 😂
MOVE THERE.
Cases also took a very long in the court system of the previous government and also involved bribery often. That is why some people living in areas under the control of the previous government and their justice system, would go to Taliban courts in Taliban controlled areas to get their cases resolved quickly.
The cinematography is incredible. Several times I felt that a portrait could be made of the still frame. Well done.
One doesn't need to be a genius to discern the bias evident in this channel. The selected music creates a Resident Evil atmosphere, and the manipulation of people's emotions and perspective through strategic montage is insanely dishonest. What a shame.

In the West, you can commit all crimes with impunity. Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, no such thing. People fear the law and quite rightly so. Just look at in the West, all criminals can make plea deals etc and get away with crime.

But this is totally contradicting with the film when in court women have been given clear opportunity and they listen and gave decision by which women got a big relief to spend her life with her own choice
Stop it Islamist. We don't know how they are treated when cameras are not there. We don't know how she will be treated once her father is gone.

Very beautifully filmed and very special for such an insight into how Taliban/Sharia law works. For me as a Westerner it is unimaginable. Everything in this film is at odds with how we experience democracy in our part of the world.
Yes that may be true but we should learn to let them deal with things their way.
Taliban/Sharia law not working at all. It is not justice.
I wonder how the champions of human rights are handling the massacre in Gaza
@@rw3745 they're hypocrites
@@rw3745 keep wondering
America has lied about Afghanistan. I respect them if this is how it is for real! Thank you for the film.
So respectfully though like wow
"Why are you in jail, brother?"
10:15 this guy has no clue what he's talking about
in the jahiliyyah the same thing used to happen, a woman would marry into the family and she would belong to the family.
Islam abolished this, there is no forced marriage.
Well I've been to many family courts this one was amazing the lady got her rights pronto.
Hats off to the judges
plus got what she desired living with her father and taking care of him as she would be safer doing that in order to locate a decent husband.
Sharia law protect women as shown above
This women has no rights. She has to decide who is better her in-laws or her father
@@drhalinah111 bro to protect ? The woman is sitting in a power ranger suit in the second row in a court where the hearing is about whether she has to live in a house and marry someone she doesn't want to. That would be a ridiculous case even in North Korea
Lmao, her rights? Shes allowed to live with her father. She will be expected to marry. She cant walk around alone, she cant wear what she wants, she cant get a lot of jobs, she cant study what she wants, she is practically owned by her father now.
Amazed to see a family case solved within an hour unlike the conventional Judicial system where it takes ages. Bravo To the Judge and the Taliban Courts!
0:38 "beating makes one speak the truth". So basically they whipped this boy to get a confession. What an insane court.
Have you seen police system beside any other countries then yours ??😂😂
That's litreally what police do to take confession
@@bait5257 that is absolutely not what police are supposed to, unless you live in some sad corrupt country. Like are you defending them for the sake of it? Are you willing to be beaten when accused of a crime you didn’t do?
what about lying about evidence to get a false confession out of you?
@satida I dont know what kind of country you live in, but that does not justify whats happening here.
@satida Very sorry to hear that. What country if I may ask?
No need to pay for Lawyers, justice is justice.
Islam has no lawyers only witnesses and evidence that's it
The problem with lawyers is that it creates a two-tiered justice system; those who can afford to spend more than the prosecution, and those who can't.
@@FlyGuy2000 then only rich people will get justice
@@Magicallstore More like the opposite of justice.
It's a business here.
Hence proved, the poor woman got her swift justice in just two days.
Alahu akbar that is sharia low not democarcy
u look like a trorst
YEH BUT SOME BLOKE HAD HIS FEET WHACKED WITH A STICK !
@@drmursalhassan4346 me Muslim but I don't think our religion has anything against democracy.
yes much like i can do my essay in 5 minutes, justice takes time, it's not a 2 day process.
Incredible documentary. Thank you !
This is like traveling back in time
So what's wrong in that? Grown up in artificial world won't know the taste of this real world
They are not a rich nation. That's the reason. Its not developed
@@Fareeh. I would say its cause islamic countries are ruled by religious law, free thought is dead
@@JohnSmith-cq6jn qatar, uae, saudi,Oman,Kuwait,bahrain etc are all islamic countries. Do you feel like you are in the past when you travel there. For 95% of islamic history muslim nations were either the superpower or one of the superpowers of the world eg - rashidun Caliphate,abbasid Caliphate,ummayad caliphate, ottoman empire etc. It is only in the modern time that muslim nations are no longer a superpower.
@@Fareeh. Yes... Because they used to conquer/enslave/convert every people they encounter..... They literally believe the same today they believed 200 years ago. they can't even stop fighting amongst themselves. While most countries have chosen to develop their nations, Majority of Islamic nations seem to be wasting away. The rich seem to be sucking the rest dry through corruption and greed. They care little for their own people. Only 20% of Muslims in Muslim countries have PIPED WATER. They literally cannot even provide clean water for their people. Its Humiliating
Even the small court of Afghanistan with no fan no lights no ac no chairs no tables no cushions no computer no printer ... and the list go on but still do JUSTICE in short period of which cannot be done anywhere else
It's easy to reach a quick verdict when you don't bother to look at the evidence or give people time to build a case. This justice is a joke.
@@HarshDude126 we've ruled the world for over 900 years with this justice, over 47 muslim countries with many other religions. you're the joke, boy! don't make fool of yourself. you even got lands that called for muslims to take over, lol.
@@HarshDude126Such a judgement should be taken instantly because the widow clearly stated she won't live in the same house nor she will marry any of her brother in law. Please explain why you think such a simple case be investigated further? What exactly be investigated? Just for my knowledge. I studied some law 25 years ago.
@@saudfaisal239 This is part of what they try to do. Cover a simple matter in confusion and obfuscate something that is clear. Delay, Deny, Defend.
I am really impressed by what I see here. A case like this would take at least 1 month in Canada where I live where simply all that is required is the testimony of the people involved and some witnesses.
The most important witness is the wife and she has already spoken. Case closed. Alihamdulilah.
@@tomiwa1a Are you stupid? In Canada this 'case' would never reach the point where it appears before a court. I can also guarantee that the judge isn't going to beat a confession out of you.
with our courts, we are at the mercy of lawyers but here people are able to represent themslves and you cannot bribe since the judges are religious
Yes, and we just saw a person getting whipped for no reason. Was he innocent or not? I don’t know, but neither did they. They still whipped him.
@@MatasJKi don’t know why they did that. It would be interesting to have access to their whole legal systems to see how they justify this
Yeah they just tell you to be quiet and give you a death sentence. Lol
Poignant and beautifully shot.
They accuse the Taliban of everything between the heavens and the earth, but the Taliban offers a fair, quick and simple judicial system, compared to the crooked west and its corruption. I say: Leave the Taliban alone. Let them thrive.
But how would we western countries control oil and heroin trade in the region?
@@personalelorenzo6922 We'll have to calculate: What is more cost efficient? Invading their country (again) and controlling oil and heroin and mineral trade, or just letting them be ... ?
@@starlonga I was being cinical.but no doubt someone seriously sat down and considered all these things before deciding to withdraw.
No matter how hard you try to convince yourself of this, don't you feel a certain something gnawing away at you?
The US will never let them live it down
They've been sanctioning Cuba for eons, they will do the same for Talibs
Justice has been done. NO matter what type of court is this!
Any evidence?
@@Steve-wx9gl if uh didn't find evidence then what were you watching in the video??
I was deployed with DoD into Afghanistan in 2009 and can say the Afghans considered Sharia a fair system and they trusted the outcomes more than the courts established by the NATO coalition. Villages would invite Taliban sharia courts to oversee cases. It's not the US and we shouldn't judge them through western eyes - it's a very different culture.
Most , criminal justice system is devised corruptly to earn revenue .....Justice? You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law. - William Gaddis.
Very well done and illuminating!
bruh why everyone saying injustice stuff was done. the reason the judge said "this time, break his bones" or smth is because he was a repeat offender ("this time").
This should be shown in colleges across the country.
Big shout to New Yorker channel for visiting our province ❤
Real justice dont need lawyers or attorneys only if the person is disabled and can't speak for him/herself
No wonder the people of Afghanistan welcomed Taliban with open arms!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing cinematography and the message is delivered beautifully ❤ , An absolute masterpiece.
2 minutes in, did I just see the prisoners and camp guards pray together in harmony?
yes
It’s different at our place) visit us if you could ❤
come to islam
@@ateequrrahman6916 Already have brother.
yep! in islam prayer is sacred, everybody prays together no matter what, it is seen as rude and almost disrespectful to refuse to pray along-side somebody if given the oppurutuiny, you would be better to rip out there heart and feed it to them.
Good! I'm glad they let her go back to her father, hopefully one of her children is a boy. Her father can influence him in her favor and she'll never have to remarry. What a world, what a world...
I sincerely hope that it was a true representation. I have to believe by the way it was worded/translated that 1) It may not be the rule but they didn't want to seem "midevel" 2) that if it were the court members on trial then they would be sides with.
@johnferguson4985 I hope so too. Her father was walking up to the court in one frame so I hope that was real.
She can remarry if she wants. Her father won't be able to provide for her forever and children need a father figure in their lives
Its sad in the Taliban government now she would have to remarry one day to provide for herself and children since they aren't providing education and jobs for woman.
@@starfighter27990 they can't trade or do business?
To put the end disclaimer on clip needs a mountain amount of shamelessness, I want to congratulate the directors. Bravo!

The Big Apple is rotten.
If they didn't do that, people might decide for themselves what they think of the Taliban's courts and legal system.
@@ShankarSivarajan Let people decide then. Why manipulate?
@@juxtapositionMS That's his point bro 😅
2:22 Homeboy said " This is my chance. Time to bust out a solo!"
We must leave the country and people to get on with their own affairs and sort themselves out, because foreign interference only sets back the justice and stability that we claim to want for them
But all the west tried to do was give Afghanistan democracy.... I'm joking of course
A nationalist mindset is not open minded and it's not going to help anyone progress. If we allow every Islamist organisation or other radical organisation to turn every other country in the world into a shithole, we must expect hundreds of millions of refugees who want to live in a peaceful, open-minded world. Tackling global problems like mass migration or climate change is only possible with a global community. Not "leaving other countries to their devices".
Afghanistan was never going to abandon radical Islam the Taliban or sharia law,that's the issue. But ideally the country would not be run by such an antiquated worthless system.
What about when they come to EU? Should we leave them to "get on with their own affairs and sort themselves out"?
Thats because that wasnt the real motivation. A certian tiny country wants its enemies wiped off the earth. They hate western nations more if you can believe it.
I am happy to see truth and justice prevails all the time
@@Pierrespere-vm5oftotally wrong interpretation of Sharia law👎
idiot
@@dawoodsaeed7394the way you said sharia law makes me question your understanding because no serious muslim would say law law
@@aali8874 can you explain Sharia law to me if you are better understanding of Islam?
This was shot so beautifully with the light and shadows and the facial expressions...
I’m crying for her, the realization has hit hard
In 13:27 did u see how all the men moved away and looked away(one of the men literally turned to the wall) as to make way for the women passing. This is the teaching of Islam. This is the protection of both men and women. Not only women.
I don't know why you're glazing basic human rights because your religion just added a few tweaks to it
Well as he said in the beginning, every country has their own set of laws...let it be.
Very straight forward where you can speak with each other like human beings
Yeah, I just love the no due process. The part where evidence doesn't matter at all and verdicts are rendered based on a judge's emotions alone. What a great system.
@@HarshDude126 I can tell you've never stepped outside of your fly-over state
@@HarshDude126you do know appeals courts exist and their is a paperwork done also.
I don't see anyone going bankrupt dealing with this too
Due process? Like Guantanamo?
Today the US government declared intention to invade the Hague International Criminal Court.
That speaks for itself.
Qur'anic verse (chapter 5): Those who do not judge with Sharia are the oppressors
here in all commonwealth countries, the poor had no say in court against rich who hires expensive lawyers and keep derailing the trial and fail to arrive upon a judgement for years

Hit the nail on the head . Sharia Law does not and never will Discriminate against any gender .

Amazing video each second is interesting

Has about a 2000 year bridge to gap, let's hope they make it.
