By Joseph De Avila

Afghanistan's Taliban government said it had released Dennis Coyle, a U.S. citizen detained in the country since early 2025.

"Today, after more than a year of captivity in Afghanistan, Dennis Coyle is on his way home," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

The country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Coyle, who is from Colorado, was released to his family in Kabul on Tuesday.

Rubio credited the United Arab Emirates for assisting in Coyle's release.

Coyle, an academic researcher who had been living in Afghanistan since the early 2000s, was detained by the Taliban without charges in January 2025. The Taliban said Tuesday that Coyle was "arrested for violating the laws of Afghanistan." The State Department declared that Coyle had been wrongfully detained in June.

The Trump administration designated Afghanistan a state sponsor of wrongful detention earlier this month.
