Taliban's morality ministry enforces law banning media from publishing images in Afghanistan.

The Taliban's morality ministry in Afghanistan has announced a gradual enforcement of a law banning media from publishing images of all living things. This regulation reflects the Taliban's strict interpretation of Islamic law since regaining power in 2021. The law also prohibits mocking or humiliating Islam. While enforcement has varied and officials continue to share images on social media, Afghanistan's press freedom ranking has plummeted from 122nd to 178th out of 180 countries.
