(RSF/IFEX) – Journalists Mohammed Taqi Seraj and Baseer Seerat, as well as civil servant Shah Jan, are free after being held for six days in the northeastern region of Nuristan by abductors who were believed to be followers of local warlords.
Seraj said they were not tortured. He said they managed to escape on the night of 20 September 2005 as their abductors were sleeping. They were eventually picked up near Jalalabad by a vehicle of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).
