They willingly show their wounds. The two journalists Taqi Daryabi and Neamat Naghdi work for the newspaper Etilaat Roz in the Afghan capital Kabul. On Wednesday they wanted to report on a protest rally, but said they were taken away and tortured by members of the Taliban. Taqi Daryabi said: “For about 10 minutes, seven or eight people beat us as hard as they could. They beat us with their sticks held up and with all their might. After beating us, they probably found that we passed out and put us in a cell with a few other people. ” Colleague Neamat Naghdi added to the reports about the incident: “No matter how hard I tried to explain to them that I am a reporter and that I have never incited violence, they would not listen. They even made fun of me. They said: “You are a reporter? You show these protests and spread them?” I just screamed. All the Taliban members who came to beat me were about my age and younger, about 18 or 17 years old. They were very young and they had come to beat me. ” In its first announcements, the Taliban stated that they would allow the media and respect human rights. However, several cases of ill-treatment have emerged since the seizure of power, which have raised strong doubts among some Afghans. And this also brings back memories of the Taliban’s time from 1996 to 2001: because back then there was no independent media in Afghanistan.
