Amu: Three days after the Taliban shut down Arezo TV in Kabul, the whereabouts of seven employees, including managers and dubbing staff, remain unknown. The Taliban have provided no updates on their status, according to sources familiar with the matter. The Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice claimed responsibility for the arrests, accusing the employees of collaborating with foreign media and violating Islamic values.

The closure has sparked outrage among Afghan journalists, who see it as part of an escalating crackdown on press freedom in the country. Click here to read more (external link).
