Mula Haibatula Akhundzada
Mula Haibatula Akhundzada is the supreme leader of the Taliban and the head of state of Afghanistan since the group's return to power in 2021. Previously serving as the chief justice during the Taliban's first regime in the 1990s, he became the leader of the movement in 2016 following the death of his predecessor. Akhundzada is known for his strict interpretation of Islamic law and has been instrumental in implementing policies that have significantly restricted the rights of women and marginalized groups in Afghanistan. His recent enactment of a new criminal law has drawn international condemnation for promoting gender discrimination and legalizing severe human rights abuses.
