Summary

British humanitarian workers Peter and Barbie Reynolds, aged 79 and 75, were arrested by the Taliban in Afghanistan for running a mother-child training program.

The couple, who have worked in Afghan schools for 18 years, had approval for their project but were detained alongside two others. Their family has lost contact and fears for Peter’s health.

Their children have appealed for their release, denying any wrongdoing. The Taliban have reportedly interrogated their employees.
