Taliban impose new restrictions on journalists in Laghman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local sources in Laghman province say the Taliban have ordered journalists and media officials to change their appearance in accordance with the group\u2019s interpretation of \u201csharia.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a new order from the Taliban\u2019s Directorate for Promoting Righteousness and Preventing Evil, journalists must grow beards, wear turbans, and pray five times a day in congregation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement issued by the Directorate, the media must organize all their broadcasts in accordance with \u201cIslamic Sharia as interpreted by the Taliban Islamic Emirate\u201d and refrain from broadcasting reports or news that the Taliban consider \u201ccausing corruption in society.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The media have also been required to fully comply with the policies and principles set by the group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These restrictions are part of the Taliban\u2019s widespread pressure on media freedom in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban\u2019s return to power, journalists have faced severe censorship, threats, and increasing pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Taliban even banned the publication of images of living beings in their Imr-e-Ma\u2019ruf law, a move that has led to the closure or shutdown of many video media outlets in more than 27 provinces of the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
