The Taliban's latest media restrictions demand prior approval for topics and guests on political shows, further undermining independent media, according to the Afghanistan Journalists Center.
"This guideline is a new effort to further weaken and marginalize independent media," AFCJ stated, urging the Taliban to allow a freer media environment for journalists to operate.
Since the Taliban's takeover, they have implemented 21 directives to limit media freedoms, including bans on women's appearances and the imprisonment of journalists for violating their laws.
The Taliban's imposition of a sanctioned list of 68 experts for political shows epitomizes their control over media narratives and information dissemination in Afghanistan.
