Peter Reynolds, 79, and his wife Barbie, 75, were arrested as they travelled to their home in Bamyan province, in central Afghanistan, in February.

Sarah Entwistle said the continued detention of her father “poses a serious risk to his life”.

Mr Reynolds is “experiencing tremors in his head and left arm”, Ms Entwistle told The Times, adding Mrs Reynolds was “collapsing due to malnutrition”.
