Release Of Dennis Coyle

Department of State

Today, after more than a year of captivity in Afghanistan, Dennis Coyle is on his way home. President Trump is committed to ending unjust detentions overseas - Dennis joins over 100 Americans who have been freed in the past 15 months under his second term in office.

We thank the United Arab Emirates for its support in securing Dennis' release. We also appreciate Qatar's continued support and advocacy for Americans unjustly detained in Afghanistan.

While this is a positive step by the Taliban, more work needs to be done. We are still seeking the immediate return of Mahmood Habibi, Paul Overby, and all other unjustly detained Americans. The Taliban must end their practice of hostage diplomacy.
