Miles Routledge, a 23-year-old YouTuber with over 60K subscribers, has landed in a delicate situation. Also known as Lord Miles, he lives with the motto of exploring and encountering the world's most "dangerous places." However, Miles, along with two other U.K. nationals, are currently being held in Taliban custody. The YouTuber rose to prominence as a "war tourist" by narrowly escaping Afghanistan during the fall of Kabul in 2021.

He has since continued to push the boundaries, posting a video titled "I Went Shooting with the Taliban" in August 2022. The video currently has over 1.1 million views.

In January 2023, Miles Routledge, along with volunteer medic Kevin Cornwell and an unidentified hotel manager in Kabul, were apprehended by officers from the Taliban's General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI).

While the exact reason for their arrest remains unclear, Miles Routledge's decision to return to Afghanistan after being rescued by the British Air Force during the fall of Kabul in 2021 may have played a role. It is possible that his return to the country may have alerted the Taliban, leading to their subsequent detention by the GDI.

After being detained since January, Miles Routledge was arrested on March 2 along with two Polish nationals – Adrian Wojcik, aged 22, and Roman Bilski, aged 24. According to a senior European diplomatic source, they are being held for further questioning by the Taliban.

According to Scott Richards, a negotiator working for the British humanitarian NGO, the Presidium Network, there has been no significant communication with the detained individuals. However, Richards stated that he believes the men are safe. He said (transcript taken from Sky News):
