KABUL (SW) – The Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (MoPVPV) of the Islamic Emirate has announced the closure of Arezo TV for a series of “violations”.
According to the ministry, Arezo TV was shut down on Wednesday as part of efforts to “preserve” Islamic values, prevent media exploitation, and strengthen the social system.
