According to Afghanistan’s largest media station, the Taliban overlords have ordered all-female TV presenters to conceal their faces on television.

According to the TOLOnews channel, the order came in a statement from the Taliban’s Virtue and Vice Ministry, which is in charge of executing the group’s judgments, as well as the Information and Culture Ministry. The directive was described as “final and non-negotiable” in the statement, according to the broadcaster.

The statement was issued to the Moby Group, which owns TOLOnews and numerous other TV and radio networks, as well as other Afghan media, according to the tweet.

An Afghan local media official acknowledged that his station had received the instruction, but that it was not subject to debate. According to him, the station has no other choice. He agreed to speak on the condition that he and his station remain anonymous for fear of causing complications with the authorities.

Several female broadcasters and presenters took to social media to share photographs of themselves wearing face masks while delivering shows. Yalda Ali, a well-known TOLO host, tweeted a video of herself wearing a face mask with the description “a woman being erased, on orders from the Virtue and Vice Ministry.”
