British Youtuber Miles Routledge Held in Afghanistan
Three British Nationals Detained By Taliban
Lord Miles' Plans to Visit Israel
The Taliban government in Afghanistan has confirmed the arrest of three British nationals, including infamous "danger tourist" Miles Routledge. The arrests were made on March 17, 2023, and the individuals are currently being held in custody by the authorities.
Routledge, who has gained notoriety for his videos documenting his travels to dangerous regions, announced his intention to visit Israel earlier this year. The British Foreign Office advised against travel to the country, citing security concerns.
The detention of the British citizens comes amid heightened tensions between the Taliban and the international community. The Taliban has been criticized for its human rights record and for its crackdown on dissent. The United Nations has condemned the arrests, calling for the immediate release of the detainees.
The identity of the other two British nationals arrested has not been released. The Taliban has not provided any information about the charges against the detainees or the circumstances surrounding their arrest.
The British Foreign Office has confirmed that it is aware of the detentions and is providing consular assistance to the individuals involved. A spokesperson for the Foreign Office stated that they are working closely with the Taliban to secure their release.
