Afghanistan: Taliban impose new rule on face covering for female presenters


In another sign of the Taliban imposing ultra-conservative views, a rule on face coverings for female newsreaders is now being enforced. It comes after a recent order that women in Afghanistan should wear the burka and only leave home if necessary.


Twitter users posted images of her male colleague, Sebghat Sepehr, presenting the evening news in a black mask, while a journalist on 1TVNewsAF did the same.
A media official, speaking anonymously to Associated Press, confirmed their channel was forced to implement the order on Sunday after being told there was no room for negotiation.
