According to the sources, this journalist was detained on Wednesday, July 22. No specific reason for his detention has been announced so far, and no precise information is available regarding his place of detention or his condition.


The Taliban have not yet reacted to this detention as of the publication of this report.


This incident comes at a time when journalists and media outlets in Afghanistan have faced extensive restrictions, threats, summonses, and detentions since the Taliban's return to power. Reporters Without Borders says that the threat of detention by Taliban intelligence continues to cast a shadow over journalists' activities in Afghanistan, with cases of arbitrary detentions and journalists being held in uncertain conditions also recorded.


The ongoing detention of journalists and increasing pressure on media outlets have further restricted the space for media activities in Afghanistan. As a result of this situation, many journalists have resorted to self-censorship to continue their work, while others have been forced to flee the country.


Reporters Without Borders continues to regard Afghanistan as one of the most dangerous countries for journalists' activities and emphasizes the need to support independent media and journalists.

Local sources in Panjshir province say that Mehrullah Shirzad, a former journalist with Noor TV, has been detained by the Taliban in this province.
