Kabul: The safety of women, as well as journalists, remains a matter of serious concern after the Taliban government was formed in Afghanistan and Sharia law came into dominance. It is reported that within the last 48 hours, the Taliban detained 24 journalists and were released from their custody several hours later. According to TOLOnews, Afghanistan Desk Head Reza Moini said 24 journalists were detained by the Taliban in the last 48 hours and released several hours later.

Earlier on Wednesday, Etilaatroz newspaper claimed that went to cover women's walkout, 5 of their reporters were captured by the Taliban. Two of them were beaten so badly that they had to be admitted to the hospital. His pictures also appeared in the media. According to a report that surfaced on September 8, two journalists - Taqi Daryabi and Nematullah Naqdi - belonging to Etilaatroz were brutally beaten up by the Taliban. Both the journalists had gone to cover the demonstration of the women. Meanwhile, the Taliban caught both of them and brutally beat them up. Journalists were found with cable wires and sticks on their backs. Both had to be taken to the hospital.

Naqdi had said after his release from custody that one of the Taliban militants put his foot on his head and started rubbing him on the ground. Thought they would be killed. However, when released several hours later, it was also said, 'You are lucky that you have not been beheaded.' The question arises whether journalism is forbidden, according to the sharia law of Islam.
