Islamic hard liners, former warlords and corrupt officials, they explain, are behind an increasingly harsh assault on press freedom - one of the country's key post-Taliban achievements - that has spawned an increasing amount of self-censorship. A recent report by the Afghan Independent Journalists' Association said that over the past year, 25 journalists were arrested, 24 were beaten or intimidated by public officials, 22 received death threats and four outlets were forced to close.
