Well, the two kidnappers caught me, when I was on my way to the office, they gave me injections. When I regained consciousness, I was in Waziristan. It was the 26th of August, 2011 ( Ramadan), when I became the Taliban’s new prey. They had put me in a jail. They didn’t have the proper facilities. They kept me in their mini slaughterhouse which was also used as jail. They kept me with the scapegoats, I was just another addition in the scapegoats of the Talibans.
He further said, “Whenever we had to move, they made me wear a Burqa (a veil worn by women). However, I questioned them, ‘Isn’t it strange for a woman to be running after you in a burqa? While bombs are exploding and we’re all hiding?’ Surprisingly, they replied, ‘No, we don’t find it strange.’ They believed that the burqa could keep me safe.”
