UN Staff Detained in Afghanistan Released by Taliban

Two Afghan national staff members of the UN political mission in Afghanistan have been released after being detained by the Taliban for over a week. A UN spokesman said the charges against them were dropped and they appear to be in good health. The UN stated it was not informed of the reason for their detention and is seeking assurances its immunities will be respected.

I worry about the precedent this sets. If UN immunities are ignored, it becomes much harder to deliver the help so many Afghans desperately need.

Their families must be so relieved. The stress of that week is unimaginable. True test of faith and patience.

Thank goodness they're safe. These detentions without explanation are terrifying for all the local aid workers and their families. Their work is already so difficult.
