Taliban says US citizens detained for breaching Afghan law

"The Taliban government chief spokesman confirmed that some American citizens are being held in Afghanistan for violating the country’s laws. Mujahid did not specify the nature of the alleged violations nor the identities of the detainees.

He stated that when foreign citizens travel to Afghanistan, they must follow the Afghan laws. "If they break the rules, of course, they will face legal consequences," the Taliban official added.
This week, the wife of Ryan Corbett, an American citizen detained in Afghanistan since August 2022, expressed concern for his well-being after a 12-minute phone call with her husband." MS
