Saudi Arabia – Arab News, April 02, 2025
The daughter of an elderly British couple being held in Afghanistan has called on the UK government to publicly condemn the Taliban over the detention.
Peter and Barbie Reynolds, both of whom are also Afghan citizens, were arrested in February as they returned to their home in Bamiyan province. They are accused of traveling on fake passports.
An American woman, Faye Hall, who was detained along with the couple was released last week after US officials reached a deal with Afghan authorities.
Sarah Entwistle, the daughter of the Reynolds, told The Telegraph newspaper that the family wants UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy to make a public statement condemning the Taliban for detaining her parents “without any evidence of wrongdoing.”
