Afghan Media companies have rejected the proposed amendment to law requiring journalists to reveal sources to Government bodies including security agencies, reports Al Jazeera on June 25. Afghan media companies rejected proposed changes to a media law that they say would be a setback for independent journalism in the country. The amendments to the legislation were sent to Parliament for ratification on June 24, but recalled by the Government for further review after an outcry from the media outlets."We were surprised to learn the government has almost discreetly amended the media law with some quite shocking amendments," Lotfullah Najafizada, Director of Tolo News, Afghanistan's largest private television station, told the Reuters news agency.
