The struggle for press freedom in Afghanistan remains a critical issue as journalists confront increasing threats under the Taliban regime. Despite international calls for media protection, many reporters face harassment, censorship, and violence, leading to a chilling effect on journalism. Numerous media outlets have shut down or operate under severe restrictions, and those who report on sensitive issues, such as human rights abuses, risk their safety. Advocates for press freedom urge the global community to hold the Taliban accountable and support Afghan journalists’ efforts to maintain truth and transparency. This struggle is crucial not only for Afghanistan but also for global democracy and human rights.
