ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Since seizing power in 2021, Afghanistan's Taliban administration has rolled back hard-fought rights won by Afghan women and girls during two decades of rule by American-backed governments.
The International Criminal Court prosecutor said on Thursday he had applied for arrest warrants for two Taliban leaders in Afghanistan.
The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor says he has requested arrest warrants for two top Afghan Taliban officials over the repression of women.
Afghanistan's Taliban government announced the release of 2 Americans in a prisoner exchange. Ryan Corbett's family says he's one of them.
In the very last hours of President Joe Biden’s time in office, a prisoner exchange years in the making was finally struck: the Taliban agreed to swap two Americans being held in Afghanistan for one Taliban member serving a life sentence in a US prison.
Two Americans have been freed in a prisoner swap between the U.S. and Afghanistan’s Taliban in exchange for a Taliban figure, officials said Tuesday.
ISLAMABAD (AP) — A prisoner swap between the United States and Afghanistan's Taliban freed two Americans in exchange for a Taliban figure imprisoned for life in California on drug trafficking and terrorism charges, officials said Tuesday.
An Afghan police official says a Chinese citizen has been killed in the country's northeast. The killing of foreigners is rare in Afghanistan, especially since the withdrawal of foreign troops in 2021.
Afghans who fled after the Taliban seized power have appealed to President Donald Trump to exempt them from an order suspending the relocation of refugees to the United States, some saying they risked their lives to support U.
The family thanked both the Biden and Trump administrations for "countless hours of negotiations, unwavering support, and determination."
The International Criminal Court prosecutor on Thursday said he had applied for arrest warrants for Taliban leaders in Afghanistan, including supreme spiritual leader Haibatullah Akhundzada, accusing them of crimes against humanity for widespread discrimination against women and girls.
