Afghanistan: More journalist incarcerations as Taliban marks two years in power

After a wave of media arrests in early August, a further three journalists were taken in by the Taliban government personnel in Kandahar province on August 14, while a radio station in the province was ordered to stop the broadcast of women’s voices. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) demands the Taliban authorities cease the campaign of harassment against media
workers in the country and respect the media’s duty and right to report.
