Women presenters on Afghanistan’s leading news channels went on air on Sunday with their faces covered, a day after defying a Taliban order to conceal their appearance on television. Since seizing power last year, the Taliban have imposed a slew of restrictions on civil society, many focused on reining in the rights of women and girls to comply with the group’s austere brand of Islam. One of the gains of the past twenty years was Afghanistan’s vibrant and free press. Today, this is what the Taliban say freedom looks like.
