The daughter of an elderly British couple imprisoned in Afghanistan for unclear reasons says that she worried her parents could die in jail as their health deteriorates.
A British pensioner held by the Taliban with his wife may die before release, according to a family health update. The elderly couple was imprisoned in Afghanistan after they ran a course teaching women mothering skills. The daughter said her father's health is declining and her mother has been collapsing due to malnutrition. The interpreter has also been detained. The couple refused to leave Afghanistan when the Taliban took power in 2021.
