British men being detained by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan have been in contact with their relatives, a family spokesperson has said.
53-year-old Kevin Cornwell, a charity medic, and an unnamed British national who manages a hotel for aid workers in Kabul have been detained since early January by Taliban secret police.Scott Richards from non-profit organisation Presidium Network, which is assisting Mr Cornwell and the unnamed Briton, told Sky News: "We're very pleased to announce that there has been contact between families and the detainees.
Taliban agents accused Mr Cornwell, a married father from Middlesborough, of having an illegal firearm in the safe in his room, but his family say he had been granted a licence for it by the Taliban government. It comes as the Home Secretary Suella Braverman revealed the UK government is "in negotiations" over the three British nationals.
