Journalists in Takhar province warned to align their work with the Taliban’s interests

The Taliban’s head of Radio and Television in the north-eastern province of Takhar has warned local journalists that they will be suppressed if they don’t align their work with the group’s interests. 

During a meeting on Wednesday, Muhibullah Nikzad told the attending journalists that they must exclusively rely on sources that align with the Taliban’s interests, warning that disobedience would result in cancellation of the journalists permits and access to information.
