Afghanistan: CFWIJ Is Concerned For The Safety Of Storay Karimi And Somaia Valizadeh

Storay Karimi, the only war correspondent associated with Pajhwok Afghan News, had to leave her home this week after she received death threats from extremists. Storay was reporting from the western city of Herat before heading to Kabul. Another woman journalist, Somaia Valizadeh, also expressed her concerns over the control of extremist elements. Somaia voiced that women journalists will have to leave their jobs and livelihood if the Taliban takes Herat.
