Journalists in Afghanistan call for international protection

Journalists in Afghanistan have called for international protection under Taliban rule.

In an open letter quoted by Afghanistan’s Tolo News, journalists and photographers said their lives were in serious danger.

One journalist tweeted a photo of an Afghan news anchor working under the watch of a group of armed Taliban fighters, with the caption: “Do you think that in such circumstances it is possible to continue working as a journalist? This situation is not acceptable.”
