British charity medic Kevin Cornwell detained by Taliban and locked up in basement of secret prison
"Imagine yourself, as a family, as a wife and mother, a son or a daughter, and your husband is held in a country across the other side of the world by a foreign intelligence service.
“This man, who is the heart of our family, might die from the absence of medical treatment – not because he committed a crime, but because he cared for people." In the 15 weeks since Kevin’s arrest, the Taliban’s General Directive Intelligence Service has allowed him just two brief phone calls with his wife and children.
In addition to the family phone call, the Taliban have permitted Kevin to make one other phone call to the British Embassy in Doha, Qatar. The call was scripted and Kevin has had no further access to consular support or legal representation.
