State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters on Tuesday that the Taliban released the two people as “a goodwill gesture on the part of the Taliban” and noted this was not a swap in which the United States gave up anything in exchange for their freedom.
Also on Tuesday, a Taliban government spokesman announced a ban against women from attending private or public universities in Afghanistan, the latest crackdown on equal rights.
