UK Couple Detained by Taliban in Kabul Prison

News summary

Peter and Barbie Reynolds, a British couple aged 79 and 75, have been detained by the Taliban since February 1 and recently moved to a maximum-security prison in Kabul, Afghanistan. The Taliban claimed the detentions were due to a misunderstanding over fake Afghan passports, though the reason remains unclear. Their daughter, Sarah Entwistle, reports that the couple has been separated, with Peter's health severely deteriorating due to a chest infection and double eye infections. Despite receiving some medical attention, the family fears for his life and has made appeals for their immediate release. The Reynolds, who have lived in Afghanistan for nearly two decades running educational programs, were arrested with an American friend and a translator. The Taliban has stated they are working to resolve the situation, but no charges have been officially disclosed.
