Our colleague and friend Mortaza Behboudi remains a prisoner of the Taliban

France-based journalist Mortaza Behboudi, who has worked for Mediapart and major French broadcasters, notably on reporting missions to Afghanistan, has been detained in Kabul by the Taliban authorities since January 7th this year. The reporter, who holds dual French and Afghan nationality, turned 29 in April, in his prison cell. We call on the Taliban authorities for his release and freedom, and we will continue to do so until he is safely back among us.
