Afghan journalist Sayed Marouf (main picture) was killed just over a week ago during the Taliban’s continued crackdown on media workers.

Radio stations have been taken over or closed and newsrooms have been visited by Taliban strongmen in attempts to intimidate journalists to leave the profession or report Taliban propaganda.

There are reports of journalist arrests in many provinces, including the (intentionally unnamed) journalist pictured. Many journalists and their families are in hiding after visits to their homes made them feel unsafe.

On Facebook journalists have told of being beaten and set alight during the Taliban crackdown.

The Salam Watandar radio network was searched in the hunt for radio journalists in the first weeks of the Taliban takeover, as shown in security pictures published on facebook.
