Taliban Bans Women Making Phone Calls to the Media in Khost

KHOST, Feb 25 (Afghanistan Women’s News Agency) – Afghanistan Journalists Center (AFJC) reports that the Taliban group has recently issued an order in Khost province, banning women and girls from contacting local media via cellphone.

Afghanistan Journalists Center published a letter from the Taliban group, in which a warning was issued to media officials, stating that they would be persecuted if they received phone calls from women and girls.

According to the centre’s report, this official letter from the Taliban group, signed by Abdul Rashid Omari, the police commander of this group in Khost province, prohibits telephone communication with the media as illegitimate for women and girls in this province.

Furthermore, the letter mentions that the use of social and cultural programs by women and girls to communicate with non-mahram individuals is considered sinful and leads towards corruption, which is deemed unacceptable and un-Islamic.

Since taking power in Afghanistan, the Taliban has been increasing restrictions against women and girls daily.
