Afghanistan: Journalist And Enikas TV Anchor Malalai Maiwand Killed By Islamic State

Malalai Maiwand, an anchor on Enikas Radio and TV in Afghanistan, was killed on Human Rights Day along with her driver, Mohammad Tahir, when the gunmen opened fire on the vehicle in Jalalabad, Nangarhar province. The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) condemns this horrific attack against Malalai and demands an immediate investigation into her murder. The brutal killing of the journalist and human rights advocate is a harrowing example of the crackdown on press freedom in Afghanistan.
