Tamadon TV’s Managing Director and Employee Released from Taliban Prison

Mohammad Rahmati, Managing Director of Tamadon TV, and Mohammad Reza Ehsani, an employee of the network, were released in Kabul after being detained for about a month.

According to sources, these two media employees were arrested in early June on the orders of the Taliban Ministry of Justice when Taliban forces stormed the Tamadon TV office in Kabul and stopped its broadcasts.

The Taliban have not yet announced the official reason for the arrest. During the detention, reports were published about the deteriorating physical condition of Mohammad Rahmati and concerns from media and human rights organizations.

This comes two days after Mohammad Bashir Hatef, one of Afghanistan’s veteran journalists, was released after spending a year in Bagram prison.
