FARAKHBAR: Press Freedom Day Discussed

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in a statement released on Sunday for World Press Freedom Day said that “Nothing should be allowed to threaten the critical advances in press freedoms in Afghanistan.”

“Is a time to reflect on the enormous value free media contributes to open and healthy societies, and how we all must play our part in defending press freedom,” it said.

Afghanistan can be "justly proud" that it has one of the "most pluralistic and flourishing media sectors in southeast Asia," according to the statement, which also said that “it is an achievement all the more striking given where press freedom stood in the country less than a generation ago.”

It also said that the UN remains firm in its position that media freedoms must be protected as part of any peace process.

In this episode host Karim Amini discusses the topic with the following guests:

Mujeeb Khelwatgar, NAI director

Hujatullah Mujadadi, member of the Joint Media and Government Committee
