At least 22 Afghan nationals have been released from prisons in Libya and returned to Afghanistan.
The Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency reported on Wednesday that the freed citizens have arrived safely in the country.
According to the agency, their release was secured through the efforts of the Taliban embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
The Taliban authorities have not provided details regarding the identities of the individuals or the specific reasons for their detention.
Diplomatic efforts are reportedly underway to facilitate the release and repatriation of remaining Afghan prisoners in Libya.
Libya, located in North Africa, remains a primary transit hub for migrants attempting perilous sea crossings to Europe.
Thousands of undocumented migrants, including Afghans, are intercepted annually and held in detention facilities across Libya.
