Sources have confirmed that Anousheh Mohammadi, a veteran female journalist, was mysteriously killed in Kabul earlier this week. This tragic incident has sparked widespread concern among journalists and human rights defenders regarding the safety of media workers in the country.
Reports suggest this murder is part of the continuing violence against women under the Taliban’s rule. While no official explanation has been provided and no group has claimed responsibility yet, some sources attribute the atmosphere of impunity to the current regime’s policies.
Since the Taliban regained control, violence against female journalists has increased significantly, forcing many to quit their jobs. The death of Mohammadi highlights the severe risks faced by women who continue to work in the public sphere and the media industry in Afghanistan.
