Taliban Enforce Ban on Photography at Parwan and Ghazni Universities

Published 03/11/2024

RASC News Agency: Local sources from Parwan and Ghazni provinces report that the Taliban have officially prohibited photography and videography at public universities in both regions. Sources confirmed on Sunday, November 3, that all formal meetings at Parwan University are now held under strict restrictions, with attendees barred from taking photos or recording videos during any session. According to insiders, many Islamic culture faculty members at Parwan University oppose this Taliban mandate, arguing that it contradicts Islamic principles.

 

Similarly, in Ghazni, the Taliban have instituted a comparable ban at the public university, issuing orders that prohibit any photography or videography. Attendees are instructed to keep their phones off, and no one is allowed to capture images during meetings. This directive has reportedly been enforced for over a week in Ghazni University. Previously, the Taliban imposed a similar photography ban at Sheikh Zayed University, marking a broader trend.

 

This latest restriction aligns with a recent order from the Taliban’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, which forbids the public display of images depicting living beings. This move has had significant repercussions for Afghanistan media, severely limiting visual reporting capabilities. During recent official visits to Khost, Nangarhar, and Laghman, senior Taliban officials also restricted journalists from photographing any part of the engagements. In further alignment with this policy, the Ministry of Higher Education recently removed all images of living beings from its website.

 

Over recent months, the Taliban have escalated their restrictions on media freedom, including bans on certain films and broadcasts, particularly targeting Turkish and animated content, in an attempt to reshape Afghanistan media in line with their ideological stance.
