Media under the Taliban - Afghanistan Journalists Support Organization - The Afghanistan Project Podcast Ep. 80
Welcome to Episode 80 of The Afghanistan Project, where we cover all topics related to two decades of war in Afghanistan, and the fallout of our Afghanistan withdrawal.
Today’s guests are two members of the Afghanistan Journalists Support Organization (AJSO), a nonprofit organization based in Germany.
Freshta Hemmati is an Afghan journalist and women's rights
activist. She holds a bachelor's degree in Journalism and a master's in International Relations, specializing in diplomacy. Over her eight-year career in journalism in Afghanistan, she has significantly contributed as an investigative journalist, a political programs radio host, and a skilled communications expert in various Afghan media outlets and international initiatives. Following her relocation to Canada due to the Taliban's takeover, she has collaborated with the Canadian provincial government, and currently, she serves as the CEO of the Afghanistan Journalists Support Organization (AJSO) and leads the advocacy committee for female journalists within AJSO.
Masud is an Afghan journalist who remains in his homeland
and is joining us today on condition that we do not show his face or identify him.
Today’s episode focuses on the dangers for journalists
covering the Taliban’s iron-fisted rule in Afghanistan, and the creation of the AJSO as a means for Afghan journalists to work with Western journalists to report the ground truth in their homeland.
We discuss women’s issues as well as Freshta’s story of
escaping the country just prior to the Taliban’s ban on travel for unaccompanied women.
