In a significant move that further restricts media freedoms in Afghanistan, the Taliban's Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice has announced a ban on the use of images of "living beings" in news broadcasts. This directive applies to photos and videos of people and animals, with the Taliban citing adherence to Sharia law as the rationale behind the ban. Officials indicated that the enforcement of this rule will be gradual, with an emphasis on persuasion rather than coercion to encourage compliance among media outlets. Pakistan Attacks Afghanistan: Pak Army Conducts Airstrikes in Paktika and Khost Provinces; Eight People Killed.
