American Citizen Faye Hall Freed by Taliban Following Qatari Mediation

Hall, detained since February on charges of unauthorized drone use, has been confirmed in good health and is preparing to return to the United States.

Faye Hall, an American detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan since February, was released on Thursday after negotiations mediated by Qatar.
Hall was taken to the Qatari embassy in Kabul, where her health was confirmed to be stable after medical checks, with arrangements underway for her return to the U.S.
The Taliban charged Hall with using a drone without authorization, though details of her detention remain limited.
Her release follows the earlier liberation of George Glezmann and two other Americans this year, highlighting ongoing U.S.-Taliban negotiations brokered by Qatar.
While Hall has been freed, the British couple detained alongside her and at least one other American remain in Taliban custody, underscoring unresolved humanitarian concerns.
