Taliban Detains Elderly British Couple for Allegedly Teaching Women

The Taliban has detained elderly British couple Peter and Barbie Reynolds in Afghanistan, suspected of illegally educating women through their organization, Rebuild. Despite local Taliban approval for their projects, higher-ranking officials may have deemed their activities as violations of Taliban law, leading to their arrest on February 1 in Bamiyan province. They were detained alongside an American-Chinese friend, Faye Hall, and a translator. Their daughter, Sarah Entwistle, emphasized that the couple sought Taliban approval and did not challenge their authority. The Taliban has not commented on the case, but internal disagreements within the Taliban leadership regarding women's rights have emerged, with some factions opposing strict restrictions. This situation highlights tensions within the Taliban, potentially due to differing views on women's education and rights.
