The Afghan Women's Courage Movement strongly supports the campaign to free journalists imprisoned by the Taliban government. The movement expressed deep concern, emphasizing that journalism is a legal profession and should not be criminalized. They demanded an immediate end to these detentions.
The movement urged the United Nations and human rights organizations to prioritize the release of these journalists. Protecting the truth and the public's right to know depends on a free press. Several reporters, including Shakib Nazari and Hamid Farhadi, remain behind bars.
Previously, exiled Afghan journalists launched a campaign demanding the unconditional release of their colleagues. The Taliban government's court recently sentenced some journalists to prison for collaborating with Japanese and international media outlets.
