An American national was released by the Taliban to Afghanistan on Saturday March 29. Faye Hall is one of the more than 3,000 prisoners released by the Afghan regime on the occasion of Eid El-Fitr, which will be celebrated on Sunday and which marks the end of Ramadan. A rare gesture of leniency of the Afghan Islamist insurgency, which keeps a very firm hand on its prison system based on opaque legal proceedings denounced by the international community.
