US Labels Afghanistan a “State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention” | Dawn News English

The United States has officially designated Afghanistan as a “State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention”, accusing the Taliban of holding foreign nationals as leverage in negotiations with Washington. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the decision on Monday, saying the Taliban had continued to detain Americans and other foreign nationals in what he described as hostage diplomacy. Rubio warned that Afghanistan is unsafe for Americans to travel to, citing cases of US citizens being unjustly detained. He called for the immediate release of Americans currently in Taliban custody, including Dennis Coyle and Mahmoud Habibi, and demanded an end to what he described as “terrorist tactics” involving kidnapping and detention. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
