History
The Etilaatroz newspaper was founded in 2012 by Zaki Daryabi, an Afghan journalist.[4] The first edition of the outlet was printed in January 2012, but was soon shut down due to financial problems.[5] In December 2012, after securing a contract with a publishing company, Daryabi managed to bring a team of journalists together to produce content. The Etilaatroz headquarter was based in western Kabul, an area predominantly inhabited by the Hazara people. After publishing a series of stories exposing high-level corruption within the Afghanistan's government, Etilaatroz was known as a newspaper that was "rattling Afghanistan's powerful".[6][7]
In the first week of September 2021, two Etilaatroz employees were detained by the Taliban while covering a women's protest in Kabul.[8] Journalist Taqi Daryabi and photographer Neamat Naghdi were detained for 48 hours and were severely beaten.[9][10] Both journalists appeared in front of the cameras that shows bruises and blood clots in their faces, backs, waists, and legs.[11][12][13] The pair said that they were beaten with "batons, electrical cables and whips for several hours" until they passed out.[14][15] Etilaatroz was one of multiple media outlets that struggled to survive under the Taliban, but ultimately it was forced to move out of the country.[16]
