Media freedom under threat in Taliban regime in Afghanistan
Taliban have been accused of blocking the way of a journalist with guns from coverage and reportedly whipping the media person.
Expressing concerns over the situation of journalists in Afghanistan, Reporters Without Borders in its report said that country has lost 39.59 per cent of its media outlets and almost 60 per cent of its journalists since the Taliban took over the South Asian nation on August 15.
A female journalist was allegedly assaulted and threatened by Taliban officials on July 20 and another detained on July 26 amid continuing attacks on Afghanistan’s media. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and its affiliate, the Afghan Independence Journalists (AIJA), condemn the assault and detainment of the journalists and call for an immediate investigation into the incidents.
