Peter and Barbie Reynolds, who are in their 70s, were detained last month with an American friend, Faye Hall, as they travelled to their home in central Bamyan province.
“Our desperate appeal to the Taliban is that they release them to their home, where they have the medication he needs to survive,“ she added.
The report said Barbie Reynolds, 75, had also been told she could no longer see her husband.
The Reynolds, who married in Kabul in 1970, have run school training programmes in the country for 18 years.
Following their arrest on February 1, the couple's home had been ransacked and staff questioned over whether there was a missionary component to the training, the report said.
The Taliban’s interior ministry has confirmed the detention of two Britons, a Chinese-American and their Afghan translator arrested “based on certain considerations”.
Taliban leaders swept back to power in 2021 ousting the US-backed government and implementing a strict interpretation of Islamic law, despite promises not to return to the brutality displayed when they ruled in the 1990s.
A spokesperson for Britain’s Foreign Office told AFP: “We are supporting the family of two British nationals who are detained in Afghanistan.”
