Afghanistan prison conditions were described as ‘brutal’ and likened to ‘what I imagine hell is like’
A British couple in their 70s, held by the Taliban in Afghanistan, are facing deteriorating health as their trial has been delayed. The couple, who are Afghan citizens, were presented in chains before their trial was cancelled, and are being held in brutal conditions in a Kabul prison. They were arrested last month with an American friend and are accused of unspecified crimes, though the Taliban have previously stated their detention is due to misunderstandings.
