The three were arrested after Tolo news shared news regarding the prohibition of airing foreign drama series, the news portal said.
The Taliban has released the three Tolo News journalists who were detained amidst an ongoing crackdown against dissenting voices and minorities in the country.
The three journalists who were detained are Khpulwak Sapai, director of Tolo News, Nafi Khaleeq, legal manager of Moby Group, and Bahram Aman, Tolo News presenter.
The three were arrested after Tolo news shared news regarding the prohibition of airing foreign drama series, the news portal said.
"As a media outlet, our activities have acted as a bridge between the government and the people. Our job is to communicate the information to the people. As such, our suggestion has always been that any issue related to media or Tolo News should be shared with us via the Ministry of Information and Culture," Tolo News director Khpulwak Sapai said.
