Taliban suspend Afghanistan's only women's radio station, Radio Begum, amid press freedom concerns.
Taliban authorities have suspended Radio Begum, Afghanistan's only women's radio station, after accusing it of providing content to a foreign TV channel without authorization. The station, launched in 2021, offers educational programs and has been a key resource for Afghan women. This action follows the Taliban's takeover in 2021, during which they have restricted women's access to education and public spaces. Rights groups have condemned the suspension, citing a decline in press freedom in Afghanistan.
