Thirty Afghan media outlets called on the government in a protest letter on Tuesday to stop “severe limitations in access to information.” They also called on the international community as well as media support organizations to safeguard the flow of government-related information, press freedom and democracy.
The media outlets claim that the worst institutions to provide information are: “the Supreme Court, the Attorney General’s Office, the National Directorate of Security, the Office of the President and its procurement unit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Public Health.”
Afghanistan remains one of the most dangerous regions to be a journalist. In 2019, 10 journalists and media workers were killed by armed groups, including the Taliban. Journalists in Afghanistan continue to face “threats, intimidation and violence for the work they do.” The media outlets have been denied information on corruption and human rights violations.
