United Nations High Commission for refugees (UNHCR) on Friday reported that two journalists and Afghans working with them have been detained in Kabul.
UNHCR on its Twitter page wrote ‘‘we are doing our utmost to resolve the situation, in coordination with others’’.
Details about the identity of the journalists or the exact time they were detained were not disclosed.
The militant Islamist Taliban, which has ruled Afghanistan since August, did not comment on the case.
The Taliban has imposed restrictions on media and free expression since they retook power in August 2022.
The hardliners have also regularly detained protesters, women’s rights activists and journalists, with some reporting abuse and torture after their release. (dpa/NAN)
