HRES 1066 is a congressional resolution calling for the immediate release of Mahmood Habibi, a U.S. citizen and former civil aviation engineer who was wrongfully detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan on August 10, 2022. The resolution condemns the Taliban’s detention of Habibi without due process, charges, or communication with his family, and urges U.S. officials to press for his release. It also expresses support for Habibi’s family and condemns the Taliban’s practice of detaining U.S. citizens for political purposes. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally states Congress’s position on this case.
