Ex-journalist among 5 women held in criminal case in Kunduz: Police

KABUL (Pajhwok): A former journalist, Nazira Rashidi, has been arrested along with four other women in connection with a criminal case in the northern Kunduz province, an official said on Monday.

Kunduz police spokesman Jumaddin Khaksar wrote on his X account that Rashidi’s arrest was not related in any way to her work as a journalist.

He noted that she is not currently affiliated with any media outlet and added that Rashidi had previously worked as a reporter for a local radio station.

Khaksar said investigations into the case were ongoing and that the detainees would be referred to judicial authorities once inquiries are completed.
