NGO denounces Afghanistan as a "prison for information"

The NGO Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has denounced that Afghanistan has become a "prison for information," highlighting severe restrictions on press freedom in the country. The report states that the new Penal Code, implemented by the Taliban, includes codified censorship measures that severely limit journalists' ability to work freely.

Among the concerns mentioned, the organization emphasizes the ban on women working in journalism, an addition that contributes to the repression of information in the country. RSF also expressed apprehension regarding the return of Afghan journalists who are refugees abroad, considering this act potentially dangerous for their safety.

The RSF report reflects the deterioration of freedom of expression in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover, with the NGO appealing to the international community to consider these issues in its approach to policies regarding the country.
