As per news report of BBC, Lynne O'Donnell, an Australian columnist for Foreign Policy magazine, alleges that she was detained, abused and forced to post a series of tweets stating her articles were false. She has since left Afghanistan. The Taliban confirmed they had detained Ms O'Donnell and claimed she had falsified reports.
