Herat Times news portal shut down due to the threats of Taliban
The Afghan news channel Herat Times has announced liquidation on its Telegram channel. The reason for the closure of the media was the threat posed by the representatives of the Taliban movement (an organization banned in Russia). The portal has been covering news for people living in the northwestern part of the country for several years.
More than 150 media channels in 20 provinces of the country stopped working after the August seizure of the large parts of Afghanistan by the Taliban. The reason for the closure for most of the media was economic problems caused by the instability of the political situation.
According to experts, Afghanistan may completely lose civil liberties, including freedom of the press. Herat Times’ subscribers also hope that the work of the media will be restored, albeit on different platforms.
