A woman lies tied to the ground as a group of men gather round her, repeatedly throwing stones at her.
She appears to plead for help but despite her cries, they continue to rain stones down on her until she lies still.
Disturbing pictures today released to ABC news purport to show Taliban militants stoning a woman to death in north-west Pakistan.
Stoning is a routine punishment for adultery in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Under the rule of the Taliban however, being seen alone with a man is sufficient crime alone to warrant the death penalty.

The execution allegedly took place two months ago in the upper region of Orakzai.
The grainy cellphone footage of the execution was reportedly smuggled out by a Taliban member who witnessed the stoning and then passed to it Al Aan, a Dubai-based pan-Arab television channel that deals with women's issues in the Arab world.
ABC news was unable to independently confirm the authenticity of the video, which is so graphic that it cannot be shown in its entirety.

In Iran, the case of Ms Sakineh Ashtiani, 43, who has been convicted of murder and adultery under Sharia law, has drawn worldwide attention and international outrage.
EC minister Jorge Barroso described it as ose Manuel Barroso, who called it "barbaric beyond words".
Speaking in France earlier this month, Mr Barroso said: "We condemn such acts, which have no justification under any moral or religious code."

It is thought that the international outrage caused by her case has led her sentence to be commuted from death by stoning to hanging.
While Ms Ashtiani's lawyer, Mohammed Mostaefi, has been forced to flee to Europe for his safety, Ms Ashtiani's fate, as she waits in Evin prison, remains uncertain.
