阿富汗歡迎被驅逐《紐時》記者重新入境

The New York Times reports a correspondent expelled from Afghanistan in August will be allowed to return, effective immediately.

The newspaper reported Sunday the Afghan attorney general's office has issued an order lifting the ban against reporter Matthew Rosenberg.

The Times says Afghanistan's newly installed President Ashraf Ghani called the Times' assistant international editor Sunday to tell him Rosenberg and any other reporters the newspaper wanted to send would be welcomed in Afghanistan.

Rosenberg was expelled and was barred from re-entry into Afghanistan because of an article he wrote about a group of officials considering seizing power and forming a government over the then unresolved presidential election. Rosenberg refused to reveal his sources.

Afghanistan's attorney general under former president Hamid Karzai said the article was "contrary to the national interest, security and stability of Afghanistan."美國《紐約時報》說，該報今年8月被阿富汗驅逐出境的一名記者被准許立即重返阿富汗從事新聞報道。

《紐約時報》星期天報道說，阿富汗司法部長辦公室剛剛解除了對該報記者馬修·羅森伯格的禁令。

《紐約時報》說，阿富汗新任總統加尼致電該報國際版助理編輯，並告知《紐約時報》阿富汗歡迎羅森伯格或《紐約時報》其他新聞記者前往阿富汗。

羅森伯格因報道一羣阿富汗官員在大選陷入僵局後試圖奪取政權建立新政府的消息而被阿富汗政府驅逐出境。羅森伯格拒絕向阿富汗透露他的消息來源。

阿富汗前總統卡爾扎伊的司法部長說，羅森伯格的報導違背了“阿富汗的國家利益、安全和穩定”。
