Afghan journalist sentenced to 3 years prison by Taliban court
Another journalist is silenced by terrorist Taliban. On 31 January 2025 the website of Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) announced on its website that Afghan journalist Sayed Rahim Saeedi was sentenced to three years in prison by a Taliban court in Kabul on charges of disseminating anti-Taliban propaganda.
According to that site Saeedi has been transferred to Kabul’s central Pul-e-Charkhi prison, which has been the most notorious prison in Afghanistan and known for severe torture of prisoners. He is suffering from lumbar disc disease and prostate complications, the journalist source told CPJ.
Sayed Rahim Saeedi was the editor and producer of the ANAR Media YouTube channel with more than 17,000 subscribers and many international viewers.
This only prove that the Taliban is mocking the international community by openly violating against human rights. The Taliban want the USA and other countries to know that they are not intimidated by any of their threats and that they will continue their restrictions against Afghan women, journalists and academics.
