Elderly British Couple's Lives at Risk in Taliban Custody: Global Outcry Intensifies

Peter and Barbie Reynolds, an elderly British couple, have been detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan for over five months without charge.

Their family and UN human rights experts warn that their health is rapidly deteriorating and they could die in custody if not released soon. The couple, who had lived in Afghanistan for 18 years and ran educational programs, have reportedly been held in harsh conditions, with limited medical care and contact with their family. The Taliban deny mistreatment and claim the couple is receiving medical attention, but efforts to secure their release remain incomplete.

International pressure is mounting on the Taliban to release the couple before it's too late.
