Taliban detains three British men in Afghanistan

Three British men have been detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan, according to the non-profit Presidium Network. The UK non-profit is working with the families of two of the detained men to find a resolution and release for the detainees. The UK government is also supporting the families and working to contact the detained British nationals. The Presidium Network claims the detention is due to a misunderstanding regarding licensed weapons. The men are believed to be in good health and being well treated.

"British 'Danger Tourist' and Two Others Held by Taliban in Afghanistan"

Three British nationals, including a paramedic and a former Loughborough University student, are being held in custody by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Presidium Network, a UK-based non-profit organisation, is representing two of the men, who were arrested on different dates. The third man was evacuated from Afghanistan by the British Armed Forces in August 2021. While there are no official charges, the detention of the two men is understood to be over a weapon in a safe in the paramedic's room. The Foreign Office said it was working hard to contact the men.
