A French woman and her five children have been rescued in Pakistan after allegedly being held captive by her husband for over ten years. Sylvie Yasmina and her children were discovered in a small room, with visible bruising on her body, indicating possible abuse. The couple initially met in Australia in 2003 before relocating to Pakistan in 2014. Details surrounding the circumstances of their captivity and the husband’s motives remain under investigation by Pakistani authorities. The family is now receiving medical attention and support. French consular officials are providing assistance and working to arrange their return to France. The case has sparked outrage and concern over domestic violence and the vulnerability of expatriates.
