Tamadon TV announced that the Taliban's Ministry of Justice has delayed the suspension of its broadcasts until Saturday.

Earlier, the network reported that a delegation from the Taliban's Ministry of Justice entered its building on Thursday afternoon to stop its broadcasts.

Tamadon TV posted on its social media platform X that shortly after the delegation arrived to halt the broadcasts, and following some contact with Taliban officials, the delegation announced "the delay for suspension of Tamadon TV broadcasts until Saturday."

Sources informed Afghanistan International that a delegation from the Taliban's Ministry of Justice went to Tamadon TV's office in Kabul to cut off its broadcasts. Simultaneously, a ticker ran during the broadcasts stating, "It is likely that this media's broadcasts will be cut off within minutes."

Sources said that the Taliban "raided the Tamadon TV building on Thursday afternoon without prior notice to stop its broadcasts." The Taliban has not yet commented on this matter, and the reasons for suspending the broadcasts of this private media outlet remain unclear.

In 2022, armed Taliban members also raided the Tamadon TV building in Kabul. According to reports, the Taliban forces left the media outlet after half an hour of "intimidation.” At that time, Taliban members told the TV officials that it was a "mix-up."

Tamadon is a private television network established in 2006 by Asif Mohseni, a Shia religious leader.
