Officials from Tamadon TV have announced that armed Taliban members began transferring the station's assets immediately after halting its broadcasts. Station managers stress that this sudden confiscation occurred entirely without any official court order or legal documentation.
The Taliban Ministry of Justice previously claimed the television network was illegally affiliated with a banned political party, an accusation the station's leadership strongly denies. They argue their media activities have always been fully transparent and completely unhidden from government oversight over the years.
The raid on the station during the holy month of Muharram has intensified widespread concerns regarding freedom of speech and minority religious rights. Hundreds of independent media outlets have been forced to close since the Taliban government seized power.
