Tamadon TV: The era of silence against Taliban bullying is over

This television station was shut down in early Saratan (Gemini) of this year by order of the Taliban Ministry of Justice. The ministry cited the station's affiliation with the Islamic Movement Party and its use of state land as reasons for the decision, stating that media outlets linked to political parties are not permitted to operate in Afghanistan—claims that Tamadon Television has denied.


In its latest statement, Tamadon Television said that the Taliban Ministry of Justice has once again resorted to pressure and coercion in the recent incident at the Khatam al-Nabiyyin Seminary. According to the statement, forces from the ministry entered the seminary, put pressure on professors and students, and detained several of them—a situation that, as the outlet claims, no longer justifies continued silence and restraint.


The media outlet also stated that it will make available to the public the documents related to its dispute with the Taliban Ministry of Justice, including letters, commitments, negotiations, and details of the process that led to the current situation. Tamadon Television emphasized that the period of silence in the face of what it considers lawlessness, pressure tactics, and disrespect toward scientific and religious institutions has come to an end.


On Saturday, the Khatam al-Nabiyyin Seminary in Kabul was surrounded by Taliban forces, who demanded that officials and students evacuate the building. Sources reported the deployment of forces equipped with military gear and the detention of several professors and students. Following the incident, a group of Shiites gathered in protest against the evacuation order at the center. Established in 1386 solar calendar (2007–2008) on the initiative of Mohammad Asef Mohseni, this seminary is a well-known center for Shiite religious education in Kabul and has also been active in academic, research, and cultural fields.



The private television station Tamadon has announced that, after several months of suspended operations, it will resume its activities on social media in response to the Taliban Ministry of Justice's actions against professors and students at the Khatam al-Nabiyyin Seminary in Kabul. The outlet stated that previously, despite the possibility of continuing satellite broadcasts and maintaining a presence on social networks, it had refrained from airing content at the request of religious scholars and elders to resolve disputes peacefully.
