Police Intervention in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Pakistani police have successfully intervened to rescue a French national and her five children, following allegations that she had been held against her will by her husband for over a decade. The woman, identified as Sylvie Yasmina, 54, reportedly informed authorities of her prolonged captivity and experiences of domestic abuse in Pakistan's north-western region.

The rescue operation took place earlier this week in Bara, a town situated in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, close to the Afghan border. District police chief Waqar Ahmad confirmed that Ms. Yasmina and her children were found in a mud-brick residence. Her husband has since been apprehended by the police.
