Faye Hall, an American woman detained by the Taliban alongside a British couple, has made an emotional appeal regarding their deteriorating health conditions in prison. Speaking in her first interview since her release, Hall revealed that Peter, 80, and Barbie Reynolds, 76, are 'literally dying' while held in custody, with significant fears for their well-being.

Hall, who was arrested with the Reynolds on February 1st while returning to Bamiyan Province, Afghanistan, was released after two months, but the couple remains behind bars, uncertain of the reasons for their detention despite multiple court appearances.

During her interview, Hall stated, 'Time is running out' for the couple and expressed her deep distress at their situation, having witnessed Barbie's dramatic weight loss and Peter's declining health due to previous medical conditions, including heart surgery.

The couple, who married in Kabul in 1970 and lived in Afghanistan for 18 years, had been running a charity program, which was approved by the Taliban. They were detained after being stopped at a checkpoint while traveling to Bamiyan Province on a privately chartered flight.

Hall described their incarceration conditions as woefully inadequate, with overcrowded cells and high-security prisons that held dangerous criminals. She noted, 'We just have these elderly people, they're literally dying, and time is running out,' highlighting the physical and mental toll of the detention.

The British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) stated they are providing support to the Reynolds' family while the couple's son has expressed concern that they might not survive their imprisonment.

While Hall urged the U.S. and UK governments to work together in securing their release, the demands for humanitarian interventions grow louder. The Taliban insists they are ensuring the couple's human rights are respected, claiming they are receiving medical attention and maintaining contact with families.

As the world watches, the health of Peter and Barbie Reynolds lies in a delicate balance, with urgent action needed to prevent further tragedy.
