Amu: Taliban have revoked the operating licences of an unspecified number of organizations that support media and journalists, while extending the licences of three others, according to a statement from the Taliban-run Ministry of Information and Culture. The ministry said the decision followed a review of “repeated complaints” of media outlets and journalists against “media organizations”, a term it used to refer to institutions that work in support of journalists and media development. According to the statement, most of the organizations reviewed were found to be “irresponsible” or inactive, prompting the ministry to revoke their licences nationwide. The ministry said only three organizations were granted licence extensions. Click here to read more (external link).
