Taliban order Afghan women TV presenters to wear hijab

The Taliban have introduced new rules for the Afghan media, including a hijab for women TV presenters

The Taliban ( a terrorist organization banned in Russia) introduced new rules for the work of the media in the country, including obliging female TV presenters to wear hijab. This is reported by TASS with reference to local news agencies.

Thus, the decisions were made at a special meeting, which was organized by the Ministry of Islamic appeal, orientation, good command and prohibition of the reprehensible created by the Taliban. It is noted that this is an Islamic “morality police”.

According to Deputy Minister of Information and Culture in the interim Afghan government Zabihullah Mujahid, the media should take into account the values ​​of Islam in their work and serve the national interests.

Also in the rulebook, the media were reminded of the need to refrain from showing dramatic films and programs with female actresses and from showing Afghan and foreign films that promote “inappropriate ethical standards.” Also, you should not broadcast a movie with scenes of a nude human body. The strictest ban was imposed on TV shows in which actors portray the Prophet Muhammad and his associates.

In September, Tolo News reported that in less than a month of Taliban rule, more than 150 media outlets in Afghanistan had ceased operations. Journalists have lost their jobs in 20 Afghan provinces. According to experts, the reasons for the termination of activities were restrictions against the work of the media, as well as financial problems. Specialized organizations predict an increase in the number of closed publications.
