British Couple Freed From โTalibanโ Custody After Months of Detention
Kabul, Afghanistan – A British couple held by the Taliban forโ months have been released and returned to the Unitedโฃ Kingdom, in a development describedโฃ by the wife as aโข moment of divine intervention. Peter and Barbie,โ whose identities have โคnot been fully publicized, arrived โขback on British soil last night following thier โrelease facilitatedโข by Qatar. An emotional reunion with one of โtheir children occurred instantly upon theirโ arrival in Doha on โขFriday.
The couple’s release comes after escalating โconcerns over โขtheir deteriorating health, with United โNations human rights experts warning in July thatโ they faced “irreparableโ damage or even death”โข without adequate medical care. Their children had repeatedly โappealed for their freedom, highlighting the urgent needโค for โคintervention. The taliban had detained the couple,with the reasons for โคtheir initial capture remaining largely unclear.
Uponโ arriving at Kabul airport, โขBarbie expressed โขher relief, stating, โ”God is good, as they say in Afghanistan.” Theโฃ coupleโข had been facing increasingly dire circumstances, with experts noting a lack of access to necessary medical attention.
Looking ahead, Peter and Barbie will forgo an immediate return to Afghanistan, prioritizing attendance at โtheir granddaughter’s โwedding next โคmonth.โ They also expressed simple desires for familiar comforts,with โBarbie craving โsalad and marmite,and Peter anticipating white beans in tomato sauce – a welcome change โขafter months with limited “fat โคand salt.”
