A spokesperson for the Taliban government's Ministry of Information and Culture has confirmed that two journalists from the TOLOnews network were detained by security forces. He stated that the cases of Mansoor Niazi and Imran Danish are currently under close review by relevant authorities.
The official declined to provide further details regarding the exact reasons for the arrests, calling published media reports inaccurate. Meanwhile, reliable sources report that following the detention of these journalists, dozens of armed intelligence personnel forcefully raided the network's main media office in Kabul.
This incident has sparked strong reactions from international organizations supporting journalists' rights. Amnesty International condemned the arrests as a clear violation of free speech, demanding the immediate and unconditional release of all imprisoned media activists and an end to systemic censorship.
