人质事务特使亚当·伯勒告诉福克斯新闻，一名被塔利班无指控拘留一年多的美国男子已获释，正在回国途中。
伯勒称，64岁的学者丹尼斯·科伊尔在阿富汗工作近二十年，2025年1月被塔利班情报部门从喀布尔家中带走，被单独关押，且科伊尔未犯任何罪行，而是被用作人质杠杆。
“美国欢迎美国公民丹尼斯·科伊尔获释，他在阿富汗被非法拘留一年多，”伯勒在给福克斯新闻的声明中表示。

“特朗普总统明确表示：美国不会容忍其公民在任何地方遭受不公正拘留。在国务卿马尔科·卢比奥和完全协调的跨部门团队的执行下，个人决心推动了向问责、压力和结果的转变。”
科伊尔的家人表示，他在阿富汗合法工作，作为学术研究员支持语言社区。
卢比奥对科伊尔获释表示欢迎，称这是塔利班的“积极步骤”，但补充说美国仍在寻求马苏德·哈比比、保罗·奥弗比以及所有其他被不公正拘留的美国人立即获释。
“塔利班必须停止人质外交的做法，”卢比奥说，“特朗普总统致力于结束海外不公正拘留——丹尼斯是过去15个月内其第二任期内获释的100多名美国人之一。”
“我们感谢阿联酋在确保丹尼斯获释方面的支持。我们也感谢卡塔尔继续支持和倡导在阿富汗被不公正拘留的美国人。

本月早些时候，卢比奥将阿富汗指定为一个“不公正拘留国家”，指责塔利班不公正地拘留了包括科伊尔在内的美国人和其他外国公民，并呼吁释放他。
截至目前，特朗普政府已从国外非法拘留或监禁中带回176人，其中包括100多名美国人，伯勒说。
在委内瑞拉，所有被拘留的美国人在捕获尼古拉斯·马杜罗后获释，而在伊朗，伊斯兰政权几十年来一直劫持美国人质，至今仍在拘留美国人，伯勒说。

“在以色列，总统和他的团队坚持不懈，导致哈马斯释放了所有被扣为人质。”伯勒说。
“这些成果背后是那些名字永远不会被知晓的专业人士——他们冒着真正的风险把美国人带回家。我们不会接受人质外交。我们将施加后果。仍有美国人被拘留海外。我们不会停止，直到每一个美国人都回家。”

An American man held by the Taliban for more than a year without charges has been released and is on his way home, Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Adam Boehler told Fox News.
Dennis Coyle, 64, an academic who spent nearly two decades working in Afghanistan, was taken from his home in Kabul in January 2025 by Taliban intelligence and held in near-solitary confinement, Boehler said, adding that Coyle committed no crime and was used as leverage.
“The United States welcomes the release of American citizen Dennis Coyle, who was wrongfully detained in Afghanistan for more than a year,” Boehler said in a statement to Fox News.

“President Trump made clear: the United States will not tolerate the unjust detention of its citizens — anywhere. His personal determination — executed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and a fully aligned interagency team — has driven a shift to accountability, pressure and results.”
Coyle’s family said he had been legally working in Afghanistan to support language communities as an academic researcher.
Rubio welcomed Coyle’s release, saying it was a “positive step by the Taliban,” but added that the United States is 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,” Rubio said. “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.
IRAN REGIME CITED AS TRUMP ADMIN SET TO DESIGNATE SUDAN’S MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD A TERROR GROUP

Earlier this month, Rubio designated Afghanistan a “state sponsor of wrongful detention,” accusing the Taliban of unjustly detaining Americans and other foreign nationals like Coyle and calling for his release.
To date, the Trump administration has brought home 176 individuals, including more than 100 Americans, from wrongful detention or captivity abroad, Boehler said.
In Venezuela, all detained Americans were released following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, while in Iran, the Islamist regime has routinely taken Americans hostage over decades and continues to detain Americans today, Boehler said.

“In Israel, the president and his team’s dogged persistence resulted in the release of all hostages held by Hamas,” Boehler said.
“Behind these outcomes are professionals whose names will never be known—individuals who take real risks to bring Americans home. We will not accept hostage diplomacy. We will impose consequences. Americans remain detained abroad. We will not stop until every single American is home.”
