Taliban Governor in Paktia Bans Photography in Government Offices

On Sunday (17 November), sources said the Taliban governor issued this directive based on a decree from Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the group.

According to the directive, journalists are required to use images of buildings and office addresses instead of capturing pictures of individuals.

It is noteworthy that Paktia is the sixth province where the Taliban has enforced this photography ban. Previously, such a ban was implemented in Nangarhar, Kandahar, Takhar, Badghis, and Helmand provinces.
