The families of two British men held in custody by the Taliban in Afghanistan have been able to speak to them for the first time since their arrest.

Presidium Network, a British nonprofit organisation that works in conflict zones, is assisting Cornwell, 53, from Middlesbrough, and the unnamed man.

Richards added that the men were being held in a general directorate of intelligence facility for foreigners.

The FCDO continues to advise against all travel to Afghanistan because of the security risks.
