Jeddah (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed its concern at a statement issued by the Afghan Taliban on October 12, in which news channels and journalists in Afghanistan were specifically identified as potential targets.
The OIC called on all sides to respect and protect the right to freedom of expression. It said that journalists, according to international humanitarian law, are civilians, and that any attack on them is against the rule of law.
The OIC stated that journalists legally have the right to freedom of expression.
“Journalists are crucial in providing impartial and independent information about events in any society and they need to be respected and protected,” said the OIC.
