KABUL (Pajhwok): The Human Rights Watch (HRW) says Taliban have imposed widespread restrictions on freedom of expression and the media since taking power in Afghanistan, but the Ministry of Culture and Information rejected the allegations.
According to a BBC report that quoted Patricia Gossman, HRW Asia director as saying: “Despite the Taliban’s promises to allow the media to operate within the framework of Islamic law, their new rules threaten the freedom of the media in the country… the Taliban’s regulations are forcing journalists to self censor themselves for fear of being imprisoned.”
