#captivity

I can say that we didn't eat anything, that there was no air to breathe in the tunnels, that we barely drank water and even when we did, it was salty. But after 700 days, it seems that it doesn't matter to anyone, and that it's ok to keep people captive.

Living in a village near Mosul was full of happiness until the Islamic State invaded. I witnessed the murder of my father and cousin at nine years old.

I haven't slept for two nights preparing for this. This day is so important and so exciting for us. We were waiting 584 days for our community member, our beloved son of this community, to come back home.
