Health fears for elderly UK man held by Taliban, daughter calls for father’s release
The daughter of a British man detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan is expressing serious concerns about his deteriorating health. Peter Reynolds, in his 70s, was detained last month along with his wife, Barbie, and a Chinese-American friend while traveling to their home in Bamyan province.
According to his daughter, Sarah Entwistle, Peter is suffering from a chest infection, eye infection, and digestive issues due to poor nutrition, and requires immediate access to medication. She also stated that her 79-year-old father has allegedly been beaten and shackled, and that her 75-year-old mother has been told she can no longer see him, which Entwistle calls a "shocking escalation."
