Taliban Bans Live Political Programs

The Taliban group has imposed a new restriction, banning live political programs on Afghan media outlets. The Afghan Journalists Protection Organization announced this news on Sunday, September 23. The organization added that the Taliban has introduced their trusted individuals as experts in analytical and political programs on media channels.

This new action has once again led to media censorship and restricts freedom of expression. The Journalists Protection Organization has called on media support institutions and journalists to take a firm stand against these Taliban restrictions.

Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, severe restrictions have been imposed on domestic media. Reports indicate that journalists have consistently faced the risk of arrest and torture. This situation has raised serious concerns about the state of freedom of expression and human rights in Afghanistan.

So far, the Taliban group has not made an official comment regarding this new ban. This action could have a significant impact on the free flow of information and political dialogues in the country.
