The Committee to Protect Journalists has urged the Taliban administration to immediately allow Tamadon TV to resume its normal broadcasts. The organization described the closure of this independent television network as an alarming escalation of pressure against independent media.
Armed individuals affiliated with the Taliban administration raided Tamadon TV's headquarters in Kabul, mistreated the staff, halted broadcasts, and sealed the building. Tamadon is one of the few remaining independent networks broadcasting news and Shia religious programs.
This raid occurred during the holy month of Muharram, raising concerns about religious restrictions. Since taking power, the Taliban administration has severely restricted media freedom, leading to the closure of hundreds of independent news outlets across the country.
