Saifuddin Leton, a spokesman for the governor of Panjshir, has announced that the publication and distribution of images of the dead — which include photos and videos of humans and animals — has been completely banned in the province.
According to Mr. Leton, this decision was made by the governor of Panjshir within the framework of implementing the law “Enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong” and in its explanation and explanation program.
This measure comes while in recent cases, the publication and distribution of images of living beings has also been banned in Faryab and Bamyan provinces.
The ban on the publication and distribution of images of the dead by local authorities is usually aimed at implementing a strict interpretation of Islamic rulings, but these decisions are accompanied by mixed reactions among citizens, cultural activists and media.
