Taliban Kills a Journalist in Farah
The Taliban executed a journalist who was traveling on a bus with around 30 other passengers in western Farah province when it was stopped and searched at a Taliban roadblock, Reporters with Borders (RSF) said in a statement.

Condemning the incident, RSF in the statement said that Javid Noori was executed by the Taliban on Saturday, 5 January.
The Taliban shot Noori after finishing their search. “He was killed after being checked and then moved to one side,” a witness said. The Taliban later issued a formal statement announcing “the execution of an enemy officer during a control.”
Aged 27, Noori was working for the Farah regional government as well as hosting two programmes on Radio Neshat.
He began hosting a Radio Neshat programme called “Psychology of the Green Life” in 2016, after completing his psychology studies at the University of Kabul. For the past year, he had also been hosting the “Friday evening” programme on social issues.
“This summary execution is the first death of a journalist in 2019 to be registered on RSF’s barometer,” said Reza Moini, the head of RSF’s Afghanistan-Iran desk.
“There is an urgent need to end such practices. We reiterate our appeal to the international community to condition the start of any talks with the Taliban on their giving an explicit undertaking to respect international humanitarian law’s basic treaties, starting with the Geneva Conventions,” he added.
