KABUL and media outlets are pressured and threatened over compiling facts-based stories.
The prevention of the plane carrying first vice-president Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum from landing in northern Balkh province was the latest example of hiding facts from the media.
Dostum, who faces a court trial on allegations of torturing and sexual assaulting a political rival, left for Turkey about two months ago. However, on July 18, when the first VP was returning to his country, his plane was not allowed to land at . . .
