Taliban Ban Publication of Images of Living Creatures in Panjshir

Sources stated on Sunday evening (January 12) that the ban on publishing images of living creatures was issued by the Taliban’s Ministry for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in Panjshir last week.

Taliban local authorities emphasized that this order was issued in accordance with Article 17 of the Taliban's Ministry for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice law and must be strictly enforced.

It is worth noting that Panjshir is the eighth province where the Taliban have officially banned the publication of images of living creatures. Prior to this, the Taliban had informally prohibited the photographing of living creatures in over ten other provinces.
