Faye Hall, an American woman who had been detained by the Taliban since February, was released on Thursday following a court order, according to a report from AFP citing a source familiar with the matter. Her release came after diplomatic coordination, with Qatar playing a key role in mediating on behalf of the United States.

Hall had been held by the Taliban for allegedly operating a drone without proper authorization. The circumstances surrounding her detention had not been widely disclosed, but her case gained traction in recent weeks as discussions intensified between involved parties.

Upon her release, Hall was transferred to the Qatari embassy in Kabul, where she received medical checks to assess her condition. No further details were provided regarding her health or the legal proceedings that led to the court’s decision, but the involvement of Qatar underscores its ongoing role as a regional mediator in complex diplomatic matters involving Afghanistan.

The successful release is seen as a result of Qatar’s continued diplomatic engagement in the region, especially in scenarios involving sensitive negotiations between the Taliban and Western governments. The Qatari government has previously hosted multiple discussions between U.S. and Taliban representatives and remains a trusted intermediary in crisis situations.

Faye Hall’s release has not yet been publicly addressed by U.S. officials, but her safe reception at the Qatari embassy is seen as a positive resolution to a months-long detainment. Further details about her return to the United States or potential follow-up actions have not been disclosed at this time.
