Rights Group Worried About Media Freedom In Afghanistan

August 17, 2006 (RFE/RL) -- The Paris-based Reporters Without Borders (RSF) media watchdog today said that it is worried about what it called a recent wave of press freedom violations in Afghanistan. snip

RSF singles out an August 11 attack on the offices of Radio Isteqlal (Radio Independence) in Eastern Logar Province.

It also condemns Afghan legislators who verbally attacked the Tolo private television station on August 14 for broadcasting footage showing parliamentarians asleep during hearings.

RSF also draws Karzai's attention to the case of radio reporter Abdul Qudoos, who was detained and jailed for seven months without charges, and BBC correspondent Kamal Sadaat, who was reportedly assaulted on August 16 in Khost Province.
