The Independent highlights its commitment to delivering unbiased journalism on crucial issues, from reproductive rights to climate change. It covers a range of topics, including the unjust detention of British couple Peter and Barbie Reynolds by the Taliban. The couple, who have been active in educational efforts in Afghanistan since 1970, face grim conditions as their daughter raises concerns over their situation. Taliban officials suggest a potential release, but the family remains anxious over their health and wellbeing.
The couple, who married in Kabul in 1970 and have run school training programmes in Afghanistan for 18 years, were arrested on 1 February alongside an American friend, Faye Hall, and a translator from the couple's Rebuild training business.
Taliban official Abdul Mateen Qani told the BBC last month: A series of considerations is being taken into account, and after evaluation, we will endeavour to release them as soon as possible.
With Ms Entwhistle warning that her father's health had significantly deteriorated, the Reynolds family continues to press for the immediate release of Peter and Barbie Reynolds.
