The Taliban today carried out a police operation at the Radio Begum Women’s Radio Station offices in Kabul, arresting two employees, the radio station said in a statement as the Ministry of Information announced the suspension of the broadcast.

“Officers of the Directorate -General for Intelligence, with the support of representatives of the Ministry of Information and Culture, raided Radio Begum’s offices in Kabul“, Clarified the radio station, who appealed to the liberation of employees arrested by the authorities of the country where women have a” gender apartheid “, according to the UN.

Radio Begum explains that computers, hard drives and phones were seized, and that the two employees are men “without administrative role”.

He added that he would no longer comment on the fear of the consequences for these two people, asking the authorities to “take care of our colleagues and release them as soon as possible”.

The Ministry of Information wrote on the X platform that the broadcast of the radio station is suspended, stating that “in addition to committing many offenses, the radio station provided material and broadcasts on a television based abroad”.

“Due to the violation of the political radio broadcasting and the inappropriate use of the license (granted by the Ministry of the SA) the operation of the radio station today to be suspended so that the documents (seized) can be examined carefully and to make a definitive decision.“, The ministry added.

Radio Begum is far from any political activism, declaring “committed to the service of the Afghan people and in particular Afghan women”. It was founded in 2021 on March 8, on the International Day of Women’s Rights, five months before the Taliban took power by overturning the then government.

Since they took over the country’s rule, the Taliban has issued several laws inspired by their extreme vision of Islam, which gradually ruled out women from public space.

Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls and women have no right to go to high school or university.

In addition, Afghans can no longer go to the parks, gyms, nor do they get out of the house without a companion. One measure prompted the UN to denounce the “gender apartheid”.
