Authorities arrested the manager of an Afghan television station for refusing to censor women's bare limbs, officials said on Tuesday, cracking down on an envelope-pushing broadcaster as they grapple with the cultural sway of Islamic extremists.

The government has previously censured television stations and taken others to court, but the arrest of Emrose TV's Fahim Khodamani on Monday was the first by authorities for airing overly salacious content, said Deputy Attorney General Fazel Ahmad Faqiyar.

The debate over what should be shown on television in this conservative Muslim country heated up after US-led forces toppled the Taliban in 2001.

The militant group, which practices an extreme version of Islam, banned television and other forms of entertainment that it deemed un-Islamic when it ruled the country in the 1990s. It also required women to cover themselves under an all-encompassing burqa.
