On October 14, Afghanistan's Taliban Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice announced plans to implement a law banning news media from publishing images of living beings. According to the ministry's spokesperson, Saiful Islam Khyber, the rule will be enforced gradually across the country by encouraging people to follow the belief that depicting living creatures is against Islamic law. This comes after the Taliban's judiciary introduced legislation formalizing their strict interpretations of Islamic law. While not all aspects of the new law have been strictly enforced yet, Taliban officials themselves continue to post images of people on social media.
