#Afghanistan: CPJ welcomes the release of journalist Shikib Ahmad Nazari who was arbitrarily detained for more than 400 days for simply doing his job. Nazari, who reported for Japan’s Nippon TV News before his arrest, was unjustly imprisoned for spreading anti-state propaganda and insulting Taliban leader Mullah Hibatullah.

His release is a rare bright spot in an otherwise dismal press freedom climate under the Taliban, which have jailed, harassed, and beaten journalists since seizing power in 2021. CPJ calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all journalists arbitrarily detained for their work, and for the Taliban to end their persecution, intimidation, and imprisonment of the press in Afghanistan.

#France : RSF exprime son sincère soutien aux proches de Jean-François Leroy, à l'annonce de la disparition du fondateur du festival "Visa pour l'image". Promoteur du photojournalisme, il avait fait de ce festival un grand rassemblement populaire pour tous les amoureux de l’image et les professionnels du secteur.
Depuis 1989, ce festival a accompagné et mis en lumière le travail de générations de photographes : Françoise Demulder, Alexandra Boulat, Laurent Van der Stockt, Rémi Ochlik, Véronique de Viguerie, Guillaume Herbaut…
Sans relâche et sans concession, Jean-François Leroy a exposé les conflits du monde, convaincu qu’ouvrir les yeux de ses contemporains sur les réalités de notre époque était une nécessité. 
Une conviction que nous partagions avec lui et qui s’était concrétisée, en 2025, par une collaboration autour de l' exposition des 40 ans de RSF
« Photographier le monde de demain », qu’il avait choisi de projeter dans son intégralité lors du festival. 
La grande famille du photojournalisme perd aujourd’hui l’un de ses plus fervents défenseurs.

This is not a simple protest. They wear their former uniforms and remind the world who they were, and who they still are.

“I was a doctor.”
“I was a police officer.”
“I was a teacher.”
“I was a university student.”
“I was an athlete.”
“I was a supporter.”

Today, the Taliban have pushed them out of their jobs, education, and public life. Yet these Afghan women members of Women’s Courage Movement continue to raise their voices from a small room in Kabul.

They have lost their freedom, but they have not lost their courage. Their voices must be heard. Where is the UN?

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Fariba, a 16-year-old Afghan girl, has reportedly died by suicide after waiting for schools in Afghanistan to reopen. According to reports, she continued asking her teachers when she would be able to wear her school uniform again. In the note she reportedly left behind, she wrote that life had become unbearable for girls in Afghanistan.

For nearly five years, I have shared heartbreaking stories like this. Fariba is not the first, and sadly, she may not be the last. Through my own work, I remain in contact with girls inside Afghanistan and support some of them to continue their education. I hear their fear, hopelessness, and despair almost every day.

In 2022, one teenage girl told me: “I don’t want to live anymore. There is no school, no hope, and my family wants to force me into marriage. I am under 18.” Those words have never left me.

Where are the United Nations, the international community, and the human rights organizations? Every day that Afghan girls are denied their right to education, freedom, another future is put at risk. Fariba must not become another forgotten name.

#Afghanistan🇦🇫: Good news! On 23 July, a journalist who had been held in prison by the Taliban for a year was released. All journalists and media workers detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan must be released. Journalism is not a crime!

This broke my heart. 💔
The Islamic Republic of Iran hanged Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi this morning, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee who had fled to Iran seeking safety, and whose only crime was opening his door to let terrified protesters in as they ran from security forces.

He was arrested, thrown into a show trial alongside 58 others. All proceedings were compressed into three one-hour sessions. Lawyers were denied access to case files. Confessions were extracted under torture. The Supreme Court confirmed the sentences in a rush. This morning, they hanged him.

He was a refugee. He came to Iran because Taliban ruined, his life, Iran was supposed to be his refuge. Instead, the Islamic Republic executed him for the most human thing a person can do; open a door for someone who is afraid.
I am his voice. Please say his nam, his family is under pressure to keep quiet.
