The Taliban ministry of information and culture also asked the General Directorate of Intelligence and other organisations of the group not to interfere in media affairs without knowledge of the Commission on Media Violations.
Khairullah Khairkhah, the Minister of information and culture of the Taliban, said that they have drafted a new strategy for the development of the ministry's activities. No further details were provided about this strategy.
The Taliban has announced this new strategy with a focus on the media sector even though the group has been accused of persecuting journalists and members of the press in Afghanistan.
Earlier, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) had announced that in 2022 alone, more than 200 Afghan journalists had been threatened by the Taliban.
The Taliban intelligence agency, the ministry of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, and the ministry of interior affairs of the Taliban have been involved in detentions and threats against journalists in Afghanistan.
However, the ministry of information and culture of the Taliban has announced an agreement with these ministries as part of its new strategy.
It has been said that the relevant security agencies of the Taliban should inform the Commission on Media Violations and the ministry of information and culture of any decision they take regarding media personnel and journalists in Afghanistan.
