AFGHANISTAN: Foreign journalist Lynne O’Donnell said the Taliban in Afghanistan asked her to tweet an apology or go to jail for articles on forced marriages by Taliban commanders.
Taking to Twitter, the Australian journalist said, “Tweet an apology or go to jail, said Taliban intelligence. Whatever it takes: They dictated. I tweeted. They didn’t like it. Deleted, edited, re-tweeted.”
O’Donnell added that the Taliban made a video of her saying she wasn’t coerced to delete her tweet. Made video of me saying I wasn’t coerced. Re-did that too, she said. – INDIA TODAY
