Mohammad, a media worker in Afghanistan, was arrested by the Taliban, tortured, and later released after 45 days in custody. During interrogation, he suffered significant injuries, including ear and eye damage. The trauma of his experience and the subsequent death of his father deeply affected him. Now living in fear and hiding, he seeks justice for his suffering and the plight of other journalists in Afghanistan, emphasizing the need to amplify their voices amidst ongoing repression.
"Slaps, electric shocks, cutting my ear, eye injuries, and religious insults were just some of the things I suffered," he told me.
"But my body and soul were wounded," he says.
"I am not writing this for pity, but for justice," Mohammad texted me.
"Hundreds of other journalists in Afghanistan live in deep, dangerous silence. Hear our voices, and don't let them be silenced."
