<h1>Opposition demands PM explain exclusion of women journalists from foreign minister press event, calls it discrimination and press freedom breach</h1> An opposition leader publicly demanded that the prime minister clarify why women journalists were excluded from a press conference hosted by a visiting Afghan foreign minister, calling the exclusion an affront to women's rights and professional equality. Opposition figures and a former minister criticized the foreign ministry's handling, alleging acquiescence to discriminatory foreign demands and urging domestic press solidarity. The foreign delegation asserted the invitation list reflected its customs. Legal issues raised include potential state liability for failing to protect press freedom and non-discrimination on national soil, and whether the government unlawfully ceded public forum access to foreign operational conditions.
