RSF Demands Immediate Reopening Of Local Radio Station In Khost

The Reporters Without Borders (RSF) organisation has called for the immediate reopening of a local radio "Zhman" in Khost province of Afghanistan.

In a note on social media platform X, this organisation once again condemned the Taliban's attacks on press freedom.

The Afghan Journalists Centre had reported on Wednesday that the Taliban in Khost province closed the office of the local radio "Zhman" for playing music in the background of a programme.

This centre said that the Taliban has stopped the broadcast of two local radio stations in this province since the past two weeks.

In the past three years, the Taliban has closed a large number of media outlets under various pretexts.

The group has also imposed strict restrictions on journalists and the media. The actions of the Taliban against the media and the narrowing of the space have caused a large number of these institutions and journalists to stop working.
