Private radio stations Begum and Jawanan remain closed after three weeks, detained staff not released February 23, 2025 Kabul - Despite a day having passed since the publication of the de facto Ministry of Information and Culture's press release on the issuance of permission to reopen Begum and Jawanan radio stations in Kabul, the offices of these two private radio stations, which were closed three weeks ago, have not yet reopened, and the detained staff of these media outlets have not been released. The Afghanistan Journalists Center welcomes the de facto authorities’ new order to reopen these two radio stations, but condemns forcing them to undertake obligations beyond the media law and continuing to detain the staff of these two media outlets. https://afjc.media/english/index.php/events/press-release/private-radio-stations-begum-and-jawanan-remain-closed-after-three-weeks-detained-staff-not-released
