Taliban Arrest Afghanistan's TOLOnews Cameraman For Filming Kabul Protest

Hundreds of Kabul residents protested today raising slogans like "Death to Pakistan" and "Pakistan, leave Afghanistan".

The Taliban militia have arrested Wahid Ahmadi, a cameraperson with TOLOnews, Afghanistan's first 24-hours news and current affairs television network, for covering today's massive protests in Kabul against Pakistan's alleged interference in the war-torn country. Our colleague Waheed Ahmady, who has covered many frontlines over the years, is arrested by the Taliban in Kabul for filming Afghan women's protest. I call on the Taliban to release our colleague asap. https://t.co/Ab0oETTWfX Video: Hundreds of protesters demonstrated in front of Pakistan's embassy in Kabul on Monday.
