<description><![CDATA[Daily Times: Daily Times: Respect for press freedom has fallen sharply in recent weeks in Afghanistan, a fact-finding mission report by international media watchdog, Reporters Without Borders said on Monday. The Paris-based organisation&#8217;s report said, &#8220;The murder of Jawed Ahmad, a reporter for various Canadian news media in Kandahar, the newspaper Payman&#8217;s closure as a result of pressure from conservatives and the government, and the supreme court&#8217;s confirmation of Perwiz Kambakhsh&#8217;s 20-year jail sentence are all evidence that press freedom is in serious crisis.&#8221;]]></description>
