Peter and Barbie Reynolds, a British couple in their 70s and 80s, have been detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan for over five months without charge.
Their family and UN human rights experts warn that the couple's health is rapidly deteriorating and they could die in custody if not released soon. The Taliban deny mistreatment and claim the couple is receiving medical care, but efforts to secure their release remain incomplete. The couple's children and international organizations are urgently appealing for their immediate release, citing concerns over arbitrary detention and inadequate prison conditions.
The case has drawn significant international attention and pressure on the Taliban to act.
