Prayers for Taliban prisoner in Kabul

Ryan Corbett and his family

American Christians are praying for the release of an aid worker incarcerated in a tiny basement cell in Afghanistan for the last two years.

Ryan Corbett, a humanitarian aid worker from a Baptist family in New York state, has been imprisoned in Kabul by the Taliban since August 2022.

The Times reports that his health has drastically deteriorated and he now suffers from conditions such as ‘crocodile skin’ and severe weight loss, to the extent that his wedding ring no longer fits. His captors have provided no explanation for his detention or his inhumane treatment.
