Taliban Shut Down Women’s Voice Radio Station in Badakhshan
Local sources in Badakhshan report that the Taliban fighters have closed the door of Radio Sedaye Banovan (Women’s Voice Radio) in this province.
Local sources say that Taliban closed this radio station on Friday, March 10, in Fayzabad, the center of Badakhshan province.
Sources add that Taliban said during the closure of Women’s Voice Radio that its broadcasts were not in line with their policies.
The policies that Taliban had set for Women’s Radio in Badakhshan included not playing music, not broadcasting live programs by women, and not allowing female presenters to speak in a soft voice.
Officials of the Taliban in Badakhshan have warned the officials of this media outlet that they have no right to operate after this.
Women’s Voice Radio was the only media outlet for women in Badakhshan, which began operating about five years ago and continued to operate even after Taliban seized the power.
