Images tweeted by Nr, Yan show two men stripped to their inner wear and standing with their backs to the camera. The backs and legs of the journalists were covered with red welts and bruises.

The situation of the journalists was so pathetic that two people had to carry them to the hospital.

According to Etilaatroz, Mr. Daryabi and Mr. Naqdi- a video editor and a reporter who were covering a protest led by women were abducted by the Taliban and taken to different rooms and beaten and tortured.

Though the journalists were shouting that they were journalists, they didn’t care. However, they didn’t kill them but ridiculed them to the core.

Foreign journalists were sent away from that area. While some of them were also abducted but were left unharmed. However, the head of Euro news was slapped repeatedly.
