Taliban’s Media Stranglehold: Reporters Barred from Covering Suicide Attacks and Targeted Killings in Badghis
|
[8am] As the number of suicide cases continues to rise in Badghis, local media officials and journalists have revealed that the Taliban
 ...Arabic for students ...
in the province prohibit them from reporting on events such as suicide kabooms and assassinations.
According to an anonymous local media official in Badghis, who spoke to Haht-e Subh on Saturday, July 15, journalists are only allowed to cover events if they are accompanied by local Taliban officials.
"We are not granted permission to report on news; we are unable to publish articles on suicide cases or provide coverage of assassinations unless we obtain approval from the Taliban," the official stated.
Local Taliban officials in Badghis have yet to comment on the matter.
This is not the first instance of the Taliban imposing restrictions on media and journalists in terms of event coverage. Since reclaiming control of Afghanistan, the group has consistently suppressed media freedom and targeted journalists throughout the country.
In addition to tightening their grip on the media, the Taliban closely monitors the social media activities of ordinary citizens.
Previously, Taliban members have arrested, imprisoned, and subjected individuals to torture on charges of what they perceive as spreading negative propaganda against their group.
