Two journalists, Bashir Hatif and Shakib Ahmad Nazari, have been detained by the Taliban for more than a week, according to sources, in the latest sign of intensifying restrictions on the press.
Hatif and Nazari were taken into custody last Thursday in Kabul by Taliban’s morality enforcers, sources said. Both men have worked with a range of Afghan and international media outlets. Hatif has reported for Zhwandoon TV, while Nazari has contributed to Japan’s i24 News channel.
