This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Presidium Network, a British not-for-profit organisation that works in conflict zones and has assisted the men, named three of them as Kevin Cornwell, a charity medic; Miles Routledge and Ian Purchase.
They said: “On behalf of families of the British nationals, we express their apologies to the current administration of Afghanistan for any violations of the laws of the country.”
Richards wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Mr Cornwell and the three other British nationals, which includes Miles Routledge have been released and have left Afghanistan.
Routledge had returned to the country after being evacuated by British armed forces in 2021 during the Kabul airlift, after he travelled there for a “holiday” and was caught up in the chaos of the Taliban takeover.
He was arrested in a raid by officers from the Taliban’s general directorate of intelligence and was accused of having an illegal firearm in the safe in his hotel room.
In June, five British nationals held by the Taliban for about six months including the former BBC cameraman and Afghanistan expert Peter Jouvenal were released.
