Show Notes
Afghan authorities released American academic Dennis Coyle after a year-long detention, following a Supreme Court ruling that his prior custody was sufficient punishment. Coyle was arrested in January 2025, with no specific charges mentioned. The US State Department accused Afghanistan of wrongful detention, demanding freedom for Coyle and other Americans, including Afghan-American businessman Mahmood Habibi, who vanished in 2022. Afghan leaders deny these claims, asserting that arrests target genuine lawbreakers, not bargaining chips.
