Peter and Barbie Reynolds, a British couple aged 79 and 75, were detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan while returning home on February 1. They have lived in Afghanistan for 18 years, operating a nonprofit called Rebuild, which focuses on education and training for various local entities. The Taliban has stated that they are investigating the situation, which reportedly involves the couple's use of a plane without proper notification to authorities. Family members are urging the UK government to act as communications from the couple have ceased since their arrest.
"As soon as possible," said a Taliban spokesman regarding the release of Peter and Barbie Reynolds, detained while providing education services in Afghanistan.
Peter and Barbie have lived in Afghanistan for 18 years, supporting local businesses and NGOs with their educational programs despite the Taliban's return.
Concerns over the couple's detention have progressed, prompting the UK to take action as information remains limited about the reasons for their arrest.
The Taliban's investigation considers various factors, with a spokesperson assuring the couple's well-being during their inquiry.
