The UN Under-Secretary-General met with media leaders and representatives in Kabul and assured them of the UN’s support. He said the Afghan government was also encouraged to respect the rights of journalists and to talk to them.
The source said that the media is currently facing concerns in Afghanistan, but the United Nations has stood by them and will continue to defend their rights. The United Nations has said that access to information is an inalienable right of Afghans and that the new government should respect that right.
