Human Rights Watch: Journalism Is Not a Crime

Human Rights Watch has stated that journalism is not a crime. On Saturday, 11 Dalwa, the organization emphasized that freedom of expression and media access to information are fundamental and universal human rights.

Meanwhile, the Kabul administration has expanded the ban on broadcasting images of living beings to Kapisa province, bringing the total number of affected provinces to 25. Citing the Law on the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, the group has declared the publication of live images prohibited.

Following this decision, several visual media outlets have been forced to suspend operations or shift to radio broadcasting, a situation that has created serious professional challenges for journalists working in these organizations.
