A British couple who had been detained in Afghanistan was released this Thursday, a local official confirmed. Although Afghan authorities did not specify the reasons for their detention or the exact length of time they were held in custody, it was reported that both citizens were in Kabul when they were arrested.

British diplomatic sources indicated that the released couple are already in contact with consular representatives and that their health is stable. The British government declined to provide further details about the couple's identity, but assured them that it will continue to work with Afghan authorities to clarify the events.

The release comes amid heightened tensions between Afghanistan and Western countries following the Taliban's return to power in 2021, which has led to frequent detentions of foreigners suspected of violating local regulations or engaging in activities deemed "illegal" by the regime.

So far, it has not been clarified whether the couple will face restrictions on leaving the country or whether they will be able to return immediately to the United Kingdom.
