RASC News Agency: Sources from Ghazni province report that the municipal authority of the Taliban in this province has sealed the doors of the “Shamla” and “Dehkhoda” radio stations. Sources informed the media on Thursday, Mar 14, that Taliban municipal officials in Ghazni have sealed the doors of these two local radio stations due to their failure to pay the “license fee.”
According to sources, the Taliban group has conditioned the reopening of the doors of these two local media outlets on obtaining a professional license from their department. This development coincides with the Taliban’s imposition of severe restrictions on the work and activities of journalists and media outlets following their takeover of the country, resulting in the suspension of operations of several media outlets.
Previously, the organization Reporters Without Borders warned that the Taliban’s restrictions on media activities, leading to censorship and self-censorship by journalists, would further devastate Afghanistan’s media landscape. According to a statement issued by this organization, the Taliban’s restrictions on Afghanistan’s media escalated last month.
According to this organization, the Taliban’s suppression of Afghanistan’s media, with a specific focus on restricting women, has intensified.
