Taliban orders media to avoid favorable coverage of Iran protests
The Taliban’s Ministry of Information and Culture has instructed private media outlets and state television in Kabul to refrain from airing any supportive coverage of protesters in Iran or broadcasting negative reports about the Iranian government.
Sources from two private media outlets and Afghanistan’s national television confirmed the directive to Afghanistan International Pashto on Friday.
Several senior editors and managers at different news outlets in Afghanistan also confirmed the order, saying it specifically requires media to avoid any supportive coverage of protests in Iran.
