Nabil Miskinyar (Persian: نبيل مسكينيار, born 26 September 1948) is an Afghan TV host who currently runs a TV channel from United States called Ariana Afghanistan TV.[1] His office is based out of Orange, California and has offices in San Francisco, Dubai and Hamburg.
On September 11, 2011, Miskinyar was attending a business meeting when he was abducted and held at gunpoint for approximately seven hours. He posted a media statement later in the week detailing how he was "interviewed" in a propaganda video and forced to denounce his work and political beliefs. His abductors have yet to be brought to justice.[2]
