Taliban shutters women-run radio station for playing music

Sadai Banowan, which means women’s voice in Dari, is Afghanistan’s only women-run station and started 10 years ago. It has eight staff, six of them female.

Moezuddin Ahmadi, the director for Information and Culture in Badakhshan province, said the station violated the “laws and regulations of the Islamic Emirate” several times by broadcasting songs and music during Ramadan and was shuttered because of the breach. “If this radio station accepts the policy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and gives a guarantee that it will not repeat such a thing again, we will allow it to operate again,” said Ahmadi.

Station head Najia Sorosh denied there was any violation, saying there was no need for the closure and called it a conspiracy. The Taliban “told us that you have broadcast music. We have not broadcast any kind of music,” she said. Sorosh said at 11:40 a.m. on Thursday representatives from the Ministry of Information and Culture and the Vice and Virtue Directorate arrived at the station and shut it down. She said station staff have contacted Vice and Virtue but officials there said they do not have any additional information about the closing.

GOOD

Not our country... Remember?

Republicans over here taking notes

April Fools prank or violation of laws and regulations?

TalibanPRD What would you say about this ? or just another piece of western propaganda ?

And this is what the United States Christo-Fascist Evangelicals want here. Complete control. No freedom, just Christo Fascist oppression and religious sharia law. AmericanTaliban!

The birds looking down thinking, 'What the heck are those people looking for?'.

You know, you are pathetic. George W. Bush warned of the risks of abandoning Afghanistan in the Spring of 2020 but neither you nor Vital Voices nor DNC did ANYTHING about it then - 5 months before the withdrawal. Shocking and shameful -the lot of you.
