The American prisoner’s phone call to his family with the Taliban
Mrs. Anna Corbett, the wife of Ryan Corbett, an American prisoner in the hands of the Taliban, has stated in a statement that her husband’s mental and physical condition is worrying and she has requested a meeting with Joe Biden, the President of the United States, in order to consider his immediate release.
Ana, in a phone call with Ryan Corbett on Thursday, 9 Hamal, emphasized that her husband did not do anything wrong and was only working to help the people of Afghanistan and that his family needs his presence. Also, he added that Ryan’s mental and physical condition is in danger and he needs to return home.
This is Anna’s fifth contact with her family after she was imprisoned by the Taliban in August 2022. The Corbett family appears to have lived in Afghanistan for about a decade, and left Afghanistan after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, but Ryan returned to the country in 2022 and was arrested by the Taliban.
In the meantime, American officials have announced that the families of the detainees do not need to meet the president, but the freedom of the citizens of this country is the priority of the Biden government.
