Afghan government workers face sack, jail after smartphone ban begins
A letter announcing the ban on smartphones for all government employees started circulating on social media last week under the emblem of the Supreme Court, which has not responded to requests to comment.
“All the heads of departments in their respective provinces are advised to inform their staff, higher-ranking or lower-ranking, that using smartphones is strictly banned effective June 17,” said the letter.
It referred to all employees of the military and civilian departments, mentioning that exemptions could be granted only by the supreme leader.
As of Wednesday afternoon, multiple central government departments were still publishing information through their WhatsApp groups.
Two spokesmen for the Afghan government did not respond to requests to comment on the decision.
