Taliban beats news reporters as their free media campaign
Taliban who claims to support free media is ready to set free the reporters of their skin and flesh.
According to the press release of the Taliban’s meeting with other countries in Doha, the Taliban committed to maintaining dignity, integrity, and peace, amongst and within their own country and world which included free media as well but we can already see the promises starting to break…
In Kabul, Afghanistan, 5 reporters of Etilatroz news were arrested for expressing their thoughts which were supposedly anti-Taliban, later they were brutally beaten up which was just inhumane for any foundation that calls itself tolerant for the truth to be heard.
Etilatroz is a well-known media site in Afghanistan famous for its research-oriented news production, It was visible as the channel usually supported freedom and peace that offended the Taliban and as the claims that the Taliban stated did not match well with the facts of reporters. Taliban with its return to power sought to seek revenge by arresting the reporters without reason and treating them like prisoners.
Victims stated that after being arrested by the Taliban army, they are separated in different rooms and then beaten ruthlessly, Etilatroz’s editor in chief Zaki Daryabi shared this news on Twitter, posting the picture of a reporter who was beaten so much that he was unable to stand, Daryabi added a caption stating that this is just a small representation of what Taliban did to the news channels.
With these incidents, one thing is very clear the ‘Taliban is, what Taliban was’ as it has not changed its ways of torturing and killing those who do not fit in with the forced dictator laws.
Taliban does offer many peace talks and tells that it has amended tolerance in its ways but these actions suggest something very different, another big step was taken when the Taliban appointed Mullah Mohammas Hasan Akhund as their acting prime minister and many other ministers who are in the most wanted list of the FBI.
The suspense remains that what the Taliban may do next, as for today it is acting as a terrorist organization that runs its state with its own rules, and no other country or even superpowers like the USA can stop it because of their terror or let us say the political reasons.
