A resolution calling for the immediate release of Ryan Corbett, a United States citizen who was wrongfully detained by the Taliban on August 10, 2022, and condemning the wrongful detention of Americans by the Taliban.

Senate Resolution 638 is a formal declaration by the U.S. Senate that officially designates the imprisonment of American citizen Ryan Corbett by the Taliban as a wrongful detention. The resolution demands the immediate and unconditional release of Mr. Corbett, who has been held in Afghanistan since August 2022, and calls for the release of all other U.S. citizens and legal residents currently detained there. While this resolution does not carry the force of law, it serves as a unified diplomatic tool to prioritize these cases in U.S. foreign policy and increase international pressure on the Taliban to ensure the safety and return of captive Americans.
