Afghanistan Journalists Union has announced that the Taliban members have arrested three journalists/media workers of the local Milat Ghag radio station in the southeastern Kandahar province.
The Union in a twitter post on Monday, March 28, 2022, said Newsroom manager Farid Alizai, the technician Mahmood Mehraban, and producer Rahimullah Noori are those arrested.
Head of the radio station Bismillah Watandos said that the Taliban have stopped broadcasts of the station and have shut the media.
Neither the provincial officials nor officials in the capital Kabul have commented on the detention of media workers but media workers of ten different media were summoned by the Taliban in Kandahar province on Sunday.
The media workers and officials were ordered to stop telecasting music or they will be held accountable.
Based on the new policy of the IEA for media outlets in Afghanistan, broadcasting music, foreign TV series, and movies are banned.
In a recent step, the IEA barred BBC, VOA, and DW from broadcasting in Afghanistan.
