THE BBC is paying money to the Taliban’s propaganda wing so it can keep broadcasting in Afghanistan.
The public broadcasting house is reportedly paying rent to the Taliban’s ‘Radio and Television Afghanistan’ (RTA) so it can keep broadcasting there.
Money from the BBC covers security and rent to small parts of the RTA sites, which enables the BBC to house its FM equipment.
Elliot Keck, head of campaigns at the Taxpayers’ Alliance, has accused the BBC of “bending over backwards to Taliban demands”.
This is another blow for the BBC which is mired in controversy after airing a Gaza documentary narrated by the son of a senior Hamas architect of October 7.
The BBC’s charitable wing, BBC Media Action, which operates independently from the broadcaster, also reportedly regularly contributes to the regime by paying tax on staff salaries and operating costs.
