Taliban intelligence agents entered the MOBY Group compound in Kabul, inspected employees' mobile phones, ordered staff to leave, and sealed two offices of Lapi

Incident 27 August 2026 Kabul province AHRC-2026-0827-KAB-01

Summary

Taliban intelligence agents entered the MOBY Group compound in Kabul, inspected employees' mobile phones, ordered staff to leave, and sealed two offices of Lapis — a company affiliated with the media group. Operations at Lapis were halted and it remains unclear whether equipment was confiscated. No official explanation was provided by the Taliban. This follows a similar raid on TOLO TV's offices approximately three months earlier, during which equipment was confiscated and two TOLOnews employees were detained.

Where

We record how precisely an event can be placed, because "somewhere in the province" and "this street" are different claims.

Exact

Placed to province only. No source names a district, so the entry is recorded at the coarsest honest level rather than implying a precision we do not have.

Each code names the treaty provision the conduct engages, so the assignment can be checked rather than trusted.
