The UK Special Envoy for Afghanistan has expressed deep concern over the recent detention of media workers, demanding transparency and full respect for their legal rights. He firmly emphasized that all journalists must be able to operate freely without any fear.
These remarks were made in direct response to a recent United Nations statement, which strongly urged the Taliban government to explain the exact legal basis for arresting the journalists. Recently, intelligence forces raided several media offices across Kabul.
International human rights organizations have also condemned these arbitrary arrests, describing them as part of a broader campaign to suppress free speech in Afghanistan. Reports indicate that multiple journalists are currently imprisoned by the Taliban government without clear charges.
