'In the last two weeks before the election the three main parties are doing their best not to mention the war. Meanwhile an official ban on embedded frontline journalists helps keep up the media blackout. CLSTW's event will turn the tables on the official silence around Afghanistan, with images and stories from those who've paid the heaviest costs.'
