Three British citizens are being held in Taliban custody in Afghanistan, AlJazeera reported on April 2. Two of the detainees are identified as Kevin Cornwell, a charity worker and Miles Routledge, a British holidaymaker who received widespread attention and criticism on social media in August 2021 for having travelled to Afghanistan despite the Taliban’s return to power after United States (US) -led foreign forces withdrew from the country. The name of the third detainee has not been disclosed. Meanwhile, United Kingdom foreign ministry has said that it is working to secure contact with them.
