Shams Rahman Ahmadzai, a university professor, emphasized that journalists should be granted their rights according to international law and provided with the necessary facilities.<\/p>\n

Salim Paigir, a political affairs expert, stated that journalists should publish the truths of Afghan society and any events that occur without censorship, which benefits both the government and the people.<\/p>\n

UN Secretary-General’s Message<\/h5>\n

In a video message, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted the importance of World Press Freedom Day, calling on governments, the private sector, and civil society to reaffirm their commitment to safeguarding press freedom and the rights of journalists.<\/p>\n

Challenges Faced by Afghan Media<\/h5>\n

Hujatullah Mujadidi, head of the Afghan Independent Journalists Association (AIJA), noted that the lack of access to information related to the government weakens the media and provides a breeding ground for fake news.<\/p>\n

World Press Freedom Day was officially recognized in 1993 following a proposal by UNESCO and the approval of the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n
