Journalists Arrested in Kabul Over Ashura Coverage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Afghanistan Media Support Organization (AMSO) says the Taliban arrested a female journalist and several of her colleagues in Kabul for covering Ashura ceremonies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to AMSO, the journalists were taken to a security center and detained for several hours before being released the same day following mediation by media officials and family members.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The organization said the female journalist was reportedly detained for being accompanied by a male cameraman who was not a relative.<\/strong><\/p>\n

AMSO expressed concern over increasing restrictions on journalists, saying such actions limit freedom of expression and access to information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The organization warned that preventing media coverage of religious and cultural events, including Ashura ceremonies, could further restrict professional journalism in Afghanistan.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
