Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Sunday, 13 August 2023 is Lemar Aftaab.
Lemar-Aftaab is an Afghan independent weekly magazine that focuses on the culture and politics of Afghanistan. Compared to other publications in the country, Aftaab has a secular bent and has drawn criticism from conservative Islamic scholars.
In June 2003, the magazine was banned by the Afghan government because several articles on Islam were deemed to be sacrilegious. The editor of the magazine, Mir Hussein Mehdavi, was arrested by the authorities and charged with blasphemy. He was later ordered to be released but may still stand trial.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:03 UTC on Sunday, 13 August 2023.
