The Taliban has lifted a three-week ban on Radio Begum, an Afghan radio station run by women. The station confirmed it resumed broadcasting on February 22 after being granted due permission. The ban was first imposed on February 4 after Taliban authorities arrested two employees and accused the station of cooperating with an overseas TV channel.

The Taliban say an Afghan women’s radio station will resume broadcasts after its operations were suspended over alleged cooperation with an overseas TV channel.

Radio Begum, a women's radio station in Afghanistan, will resume broadcasting after the Taliban lifted its suspension. The station's return marks a significant step for female empowerment in the country.
