ذبیح الله مجاهد، سخنگوی طالبان در مصاحبه با رادیو آزادی اروپا بخش افغانستان، گفت:
«موضوع اصلی این است که افغانستان یک کشور اسلامی است و اینجا همجنسگرایی جرم است. جامعۀ ما هم این را نمیپذیرد و اسلام هم آنرا جدا رد میکند.
We salute @oliver_gmurphy @heathercassell and @paddykell for winning the Roshaniya awards this year. We thank you for setting the bar high for other journalists who write about LGBT+ Afghans to achieve your platinum level coverage in reporting about the plight of LGBT+ Afghans.
@TracyConnor@TimTeeman
The Daily Beast is supposed to be a shining light on coverage for all things minority. Unfortunately, in the case of reporting about LGBT+ Afghans they have been discriminatory by excluding me & @RoshaniyaLGBT.

@stonewalluk@ILGAAsia Does @stonewalluk's partners on LGBT+ Afghans also include me & @RoshaniyaLGBT? Because Stonewall is not following me, Roshaniya or LGBT+ Afghan activists. We are the authentic voices of Afghanistan's LGBT+ community. Western NGO's should support us, not sideline us. #LetUsLive
