PM's thanks after couple are released

The Herald

September 20, 2025

SIR Keir Starmer has welcomed the release of an elderly British couple from months of detention in Afghanistan.

The Prime Minister paid tribute to the “vital” role played by Qatar, which mediated to secure the freedom of Barbie Reynolds, 76, and her husband Peter, 80. The couple have been freed by the Taliban after being held for nearly eight months following their arrest as they travelled to their home in Bamyan province, central Afghanistan, in February.

Sir Keir said in a statement on Friday: “I welcome the release of Peter and Barbara Reynolds from detention in Afghanistan, and I know this long awaited news will come as a huge relief to them and their family. I want to pay tribute to the vital role played by Qatar, including The Amir, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, in securing their freedom.”
