Britain’s Interior Minister Suella Braverman said Sunday that the UK government was “in negotiations” after three British men were detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
“The government is in negotiations and working hard to ensure people’s safety is upheld,” Braverman told Sky News.
On another front, “we are working hard to secure consular contact with British nationals detained in Afghanistan and we are supporting families,” the UK’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
British media reports have identified the men as charity medic Kevin Cornwell, 53, the unnamed manager of a hotel for aid workers and YouTube star Miles Routledge.
