Elderly British couple feared execution during months of Taliban detention

A British couple, Peter and Barbie Reynolds, feared execution during their seven-and-a-half-month detention in Afghanistan. The elderly couple, who ran a charity, were held in ten different prisons without explanation for their arrest or release. They suffered health issues and were moved to various facilities, including a notorious maximum-security prison. The Reynoldses, married in Afghanistan in 1970, have a deep connection to the country but will not return due to safety concerns and the UK's travel warnings.
