Afghanistan Media Group Launches Campaign to stop deportation from Iran and Pakistan

The Afghanistan Media Support Organization (AMSO) has launched a campaign urging Iran and Pakistan to halt the deportation of Afghan journalists, warning that such actions threaten both lives and press freedom.

On Sunday, August 10, AMSO called on social media users to join the initiative by using hashtags opposing the expulsion of journalists.

The campaign centers on three key messages:

• No to the deportation of journalists from Pakistan and Iran

• Speed up the relocation of journalists to safe countries

• Journalism is not a crime

A day earlier, in an online meeting, AMSO expressed deep concern for the safety of Afghan journalists in both countries and demanded an immediate end to forced removals.

The organization also warned that Pakistan’s new deportation policy could place Afghan journalists, civil society activists, human rights defenders, and former security personnel at serious risk.

Press freedom groups have long urged urgent international action to protect Afghan journalists who fled to neighboring countries and are awaiting relocation to safety.

The AMSO campaign underscores growing fears about shrinking media freedom in the region and the urgent need for coordinated protection and resettlement efforts.
