Peter and Barbie Reynolds, a British couple running a training business in Afghanistan, have been detained by the Taliban. Their daughter, Sarah Entwistle, expressed urgent concerns about Peter's deteriorating health, highlighting issues such as chest and eye infections due to inadequate nutrition. She pleads for their release, emphasizing the critical need for medication after Peter's prior heart condition. The couple has contributed to educational projects in Afghanistan for years, but the reasons behind their arrest remain unclear, possibly linked to their work with local mothers and children.
Without immediate access to necessary medication, his life is in serious danger. He requires pills for his heart after he had a mini-stroke before he was detained.
Our desperate appeal to the Taliban is that they release them to their home, where they have the medication he needs to survive.
The couple's business, Rebuild, has run projects in schools in Afghanistan for 18 years and continued after the Taliban regained power in 2021.
The reason for their detention remains unclear. Entwistle suspects it was because they were teaching mothers with children.
