Taliban shuts down women-led Afghan radio station over music.

Afghanistan's only women-run radio station, Sadai Banowan, was shut down by the Taliban for playing music during Ramadan, violating "laws and regulations of the Islamic Emirate." The station's head denies any violation and calls it a conspiracy. The Taliban have barred women from most forms of employment and education beyond the sixth grade, including university. Many journalists lost their jobs after the Taliban takeover in August 2021.
