Canada has confirmed the discharge of a former Canadian soldier by Afghanistan’s interim Taliban administration.
Foreign Minister Melanie Joly wrote on X late Sunday that David Lavery, after being launched from detention in Afghanistan, arrived in Qatar and that she had spoken with him.
She thanked Doha for its cooperation within the launch of Lavery, who’s in “good spirits.”
“I just spoke with David Lavery upon his safe arrival in Qatar from Afghanistan. He is in good spirits,” Joly mentioned. “Thank you to my Qatari counterpart, @MBA_AlThani_, for helping facilitate the release of our Canadian citizen.”
The US media reported that Lavery was detained by the Taliban forces in November final 12 months.
The Taliban haven’t but commented on the discharge.
