Taliban, Daesh Propaganda Sold Freely in Kandahar: Report in ToloNews, Jan 5, 2017

Residents in the southern province of Kandahar on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the sale of Taliban and Daesh propaganda in the city, saying this could easily influence the youth in a negative way.

“These videos cause ethical harm as well, because they can mislead our youths,” another resident Matin said.

“These issues raise questions about our identity, it is very unfortunate that shopkeepers sell this material. In these videos Taliban and Daesh burn people alive and it is full of horror,” a resident of Kandahar Mohammad Ibrahim said.

Meanwhile, Kandahar information and culture department has said that it has taken serious action against those involved in selling such material.

Kandahar police headquarters also vowed to take steps against those selling the material.

“Propaganda is made against the government (and sold) in all these shops; films from the wars of the insurgents are sold including private films of some families. Neither the law nor religion allows for the sale of this kind of material and we are committed to preventing it,” said Hazrat Wali Hotak, chairman of Kandahar’s information and culture department.

Similar concerns have been reported by Kabul residents in the past – who stated the youth had easy access to such propaganda.http://www.tolonews.com/afghanistan/provincial/taliban-daesh-propaganda-sold-freely-kandahar
