Taliban releases three employees of Afghanistan's largest TV station who were detained over a report that the country's rulers had banned all broadcasts of foreign drama series
The United Nations and the Committee to Protect Journalists decried the arrests and demanded the Taliban stop harassing Afghan journalists and stifling free expression.
The mission, known as UNAMA, said on Twitter: “Time for the Taliban to stop gagging & banning. Time for a constructive dialogue with the Afghan media community.” The outlets closed for lack of funds or because journalists had left the country, according to the report.
