A French woman, Sylvie Yasmina, is rescued in Pakistan after what authorities describe as an alleged 12-year period of confinement by her husband, according to multiple reports. The BBC and The Independent say Yasmina alleges she was held captive and that she and her five children were cut off from the outside world. The Independent adds that Yasmina married the Pakistani national in Australia in 2003, and the family later relocated to Pakistan in 2014. India Today and Yahoo News also report that the woman is rescued following the allegations, though their summaries provide limited additional detail about the investigation. The reports indicate that police are involved in the rescue and in handling the case. The accounts focus on the length of the alleged confinement and the involvement of the husband, as well as Yasmina’s claim that the children were confined with her. No outlet in the provided material specifies the exact location of the rescue or the husband’s legal status at the time of reporting.
