A British couple in their 70s, Peter Barbie and Reynolds, who are being held by the Taliban in Afghanistan, are expected to appear in court to face unknown charges. The family of the couple expressed concerns about their safety and wellbeing as the court appearance has been delayed.
Peter Barbie and Reynolds were initially due in court on March 19, but their appearance was postponed, raising fears for their current situation. The couple has been held by the Taliban since earlier this month, with limited information about their condition or the reasons behind their detainment.
The family is anxiously waiting for updates on the situation and are calling for the British government to intervene and ensure the safety of Peter Barbie and Reynolds. The Taliban has yet to provide any clear information about the charges against the couple or their treatment while in custody.
The couple's loved ones are desperately seeking answers and hoping for a swift resolution to this distressing situation. As the court date approaches, concerns continue to grow about the fate of Peter Barbie and Reynolds at the hands of the Taliban.
