On September 8, 2021, the Taliban detained and assaulted two journalists from the digital media outlet EtilaatRoz, video journalist Nemat Naqdi and video editor Taqi Daryabi, while covering a women's protest against Pakistani involvement in Afghanistan and support of women's rights in Kabul city, reports CNN. Later, on September 10, Nemat Naqdi narrated his ordeal to CNN in detail, "They were hitting me with extreme force that I really thought that this was the end of my life... They have hit me on my arm with extreme force that I could not move it during the last two days ... it has got better. My left eye has been hurt seriously that it is still red, and I am worried, my left ear can't receive any hearing. It has a buzzing noise. I was given four or five very hard slaps on my face."
