Reynolds' children condemn parents' unjust detention in Afghanistan

independent.co.uk

The children of Peter and Barbie Reynolds, a British couple detained by the Taliban, have criticized their parents' "cruel and unjust" imprisonment. The couple has been held for over six weeks, with health concerns raised about Peter's deteriorating condition. The Taliban initially claimed the couple was detained due to a misunderstanding regarding fake passports. However, their daughter reported that the couple has been moved to a maximum security prison, and Peter is suffering from multiple health issues. The Reynolds have worked in Afghanistan for 18 years, providing training programs. Their family asserts that they had local permission for their activities and deny any missionary intent. The reason for their detention remains unclear.
