THE TELEGRAPH: Media in Afghanistan faces new restrictions, but the regime says the law will be implemented gradually
Afghanistan’s Taliban morality ministry pledged on Monday to implement a law banning news media from publishing images of all living things, with journalists told the rule will be gradually enforced.
It comes after the Taliban regime recently announced legislation formalising its strict interpretations of Islamic law that have been imposed since they swept to power in 2021.
“The law applies to all Afghanistan ... and it will be implemented gradually,” Saiful Islam Khyber, the spokesman for the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (PVPV), told AFP. He added that officials would work to persuade people that images of living things are against Islamic law.
“Coercion has no place in the implementation of the law,” he said. » | Telegraph’s Foreign Staff | Monday, October 14, 2024
