Mr and Mrs Reynolds have run school training programmes for 18 years and remained in the country after the Taliban takeover in 2021.
The Taliban have arrested British couple Peter and Barbie Reynolds in Afghanistan, who have been running a school training program for 18 years and remained after the Taliban takeover in 2021. They were detained on February 1 along with a translator and an American friend, Faye Hall. The Taliban stated they are considering their release as soon as possible. The Foreign Office is supporting the couple's family, who are concerned about Peter's health, as he needs medication. The family has requested no government intervention in their case, emphasizing their parents' commitment to Afghanistan. The situation is believed to be part of the Taliban's strategy to gain concessions after losing US aid, possibly using the couple as hostages.
