UK – LBC, July 27, 2025
The son of a couple imprisoned by the Taliban in Afghanistan has issued an urgent appeal to the Taliban Foreign Minister for their release amid growing concerns over his parents’ health.
Speaking to LBC, the couple’s son issued an urgent appeal to the Taliban to release his parents from the Afghan prison where they have been held for over six months.
He said it has now been six months that his parents have “been held without charge, without cause, without any accusation.”
“They’re just being held, it would seem, for some type of a political pawn. They’ve been told continuously that they’ve done nothing wrong and they’ll be released in a few days, just a matter of days.”
Mr Reynolds said he believes the time frame for his parents’ release is shortening, as he has received reports of their poor health. Experts from the United Nations believe Peter Reynolds is likely to have suffered a minor heart attack or stroke in recent weeks and requires urgent medical attention.
